Ki-1 lymphoma is a rare, large-cell anaplastic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that most commonly affects older children and young adults. Presentation usually occurs as a localized infiltration of the skin and lymph nodes. We report an unusual case of childhood Ki-1 lymphoma that presented as a buttock mass in an eight-year-old girl, Pathologic evaluation revealed the characteristic lymphoma cells expressing Ki-1 antigen (CD-30), HLA-DR, interleukin 2 (CD-25), T-cell gene rearrangement, and the cytogenetic karyotype t(2;5). The patient is in complete remission following treatment with combination chemotherapy. This report broadens the clinical spectrum associated with Ki-1 lymphomas and illustrates the importance of combining routine pathologic examination with other specialized diagnostic techniques in the evaluation of childhood soft-tissue masses.

A new human lymphoma cell line, designated DL-40, was established from the peripheral blood of a 64-year-old woman with leukemic conversion of aggressive large cell lymphoma. The cell line grew in suspension with or without forming clumps of cells and exhibited large, round, or multiple nuclei in the relatively abundant cytoplasm that was positive for acid phosphatase. The cells expressed a Ki-1 antigen (CD30), E+, CD2+, CD4+, CD45+, Ia+ phenotype and had rearranged T-cell receptor beta chain but were negative for CD15, HTLV-I, and Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen. Chromosome analysis of this cell line showed a human female karyotype with complex hyperdiploid abnormalities. DL-40 cells produced tumors histologically similar to the original lymphoma when transplanted into nude mice and immunosuppressed hamsters. The DL-40 cell line could provide a useful tool for the understanding of biology of the Ki-1-positive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

We report the characterization of a novel human T-cell line, HPB-MLp-W, which was established from blastic cells of a lymph node specimen from a patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. They demonstrated the T-cell association antigens, CD2 and CD4, but no CD3, CD8, CD1, CD5, CD7 nor T-cell antigen receptor on their cell surfaces. They were also positive for Ia and Ki-1 antigen, and negative for CD25 (Tac-1). The cell line HPB-MLp-W had the same pattern of antigen expression as the patient's cells. Southern-blot analysis of DNA showed a rearrangement of the T-cell receptor-alpha and beta genes. To our knowledge, this is a novel cell line with unique T-lineage marker, to be established from a case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Two children with Ki-1 antigen-positive, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma received high-dose chemotherapy, fractionated total body irradiation (TBI), and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Both patients had relapsed multiple times on conventional chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Following transplantation, there was successful engraftment with disappearance of clinical signs and symptoms of their disease. As of June 1, 1989 they are in continuous unmaintained complete remission, 56 and 40 months, respectively, after bone marrow transplantation.

Immunohistochemical and immunophenotypic analyses were performed on 278 cases of karyotypically abnormal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Excluding cases of lymphoblastic lymphoma or mycosis fungoides, 20 cases showed evidence of non-B cell lineage. T cell lineage was proven by genotypic and immunophenotypic analyses in 15 of the 20 cases; five were of ambiguous lineage. All of the non-B lineage cases were of diffuse histology with a large cell component (DLCL). Twelve cases expressed the Ki-1 antigen; five of these cases also demonstrated a translocation with a break at 5q35. Patients with Ki-1 positive DLCL and t(5q35) had a younger median age compared with non-B cell DLCL without t(5q35). The Ki-1 positive patients had a higher frequency of skin involvement and lower incidence of bone marrow involvement compared with Ki-1 negative DLCL. Survival analysis was performed on 86 cases of B cell DLCL and 18 cases of non-B cell DLCL which were serially ascertained prior to receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy. Median duration of complete remission was significantly longer in the B cell compared with the non-B cell DLCL groups; there was only a trend for decreased overall survival in the non-B cell group. Among the subset of non-B cell lymphomas, overall survival of patients with Ki-1 expressing DLCL was significantly longer than those with Ki-1 negative DLCL, who had a median survival of less than a year. These results show that immunophenotypic, immunohistochemical, and cytogenetic markers can define subsets of patients with non-B cell lymphomas with differing clinical characteristics and outcome.

In lymphoid neoplasms, nonrandom cytogenetic abnormalities correlate with clinical, morphologic and immunophenotypic features. A subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which expresses the Ki-1 antigen (CD30) and has distinct morphologic and clinical features, has recently been described. We now report the association of a reciprocal translocation involving the short arm of chromosome 2 (band p23) and the long arm of chromosome 5 (band q35), t(2;5)(p23;q35), with Ki-1 positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Rearrangement of the genes that are located at the breakpoints on chromosomes 2 and 5 may be a critical step in the pathogenesis of this lymphoma.

Stabilization of cell surface antigens and preservation of tissue morphologic characteristics are important for diagnostic immunologic studies. Current reports continue to regard unfixed frozen sections as the material of choice for immunoperoxidase studies of lymphoproliferative diseases. In this study, periodate-lysine-paraformaldehyde (PLP) is shown to be a valuable fixative for the improved detection of surface antigens in lymphoid tissue. In cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and Hodgkin's disease, more frequent detection of diagnostic markers and ease of interpretation was demonstrated by use of PLP-fixed frozen tissue as compared with unfixed frozen tissue. Immunoglobulin staining was more easily interpreted in 30% of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. In Hodgkin's disease, Ki-1 antigen, a diagnostic marker of Reed-Sternberg cells, was found in PLP-fixed tissue from two cases in which this antigen was not detected in corresponding unfixed frozen tissue. The authors have demonstrated that PLP-fixed tissue can be sent to a central reference laboratory at ambient or room temperature, avoiding the expense and inconvenience of transporting specimens on dry ice. The authors conclude that PLP fixation is the preferred method for immunopathologic study of human lymphomas.

The monoclonal antibody Ki-1 reacts with Reed-Sternberg cells in Hodgkin's disease and with the tumour cells in a minority of large cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. This study describes the results of immunophenotypic and DNA analysis in 30 cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, all of which expressed the Ki-1 antigen. The genotypic analysis has been undertaken using both immunoglobulin and T-cell receptor gene probes. Sixteen cases were shown by this method to be of monoclonal T-cell origin, six of B-cell origin, while in eight cases there was no evidence of either T- or B-cell lineage. This confirms previous immunohistological data indicating that non-Hodgkin's lymphomas which express the Ki-1 antigen may be of either T-cell or B-cell origin.

We describe the characterization of a new human cell line, Karpas 299 (K299), established from blast cells in the peripheral blood of a 25-year-old white man. His illness, which began with enlarged occipital and axillary nodes and weight loss, ended after 7 months with generalized lymphadenopathy, pleural effusion, and bone marrow involvement. A lymph node biopsy showed a large cell lymphoma mainly sinusoidal in distribution. The blast cells with pleomorphic nuclei resembled primitive histiocytes. The cells, which expressed the T-cell-associated markers CD4 and CD5, were positive for HLA-DR, epithelial membrane antigen, and CD30 (Ki-1 antigen). The karyotype was aneuploid and included a translocation 2;5. The site of translocation on chromosome 5 (at 5q35.1) is in the region of the locus of the c-fms oncogene (receptor of the monocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor MCSF or CSF-1). The cell line Karpas 299 has the same karyotype and pattern of antigen expression as the patient's cells. Northern blot analysis of RNA showed an active rearrangement of the T-cell receptor beta-chain gene. This is to our knowledge the first Ki-1 antigen-positive line to be established from a case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Disease recurrence is a major cause of failure after autologous bone marrow transplantation for Hodgkin's disease or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Relapse usually occurs at sites of previous involvement. The patient described here died of massive pulmonary involvement with Ki-1 antigen (CD30)-positive immunoblastic lymphoma 2 months after transplantation with unpurged autologous marrow. This relapse in a previously uninvolved organ prompted resectioning of the pre-storage marrow biopsy and resulted in identification of one small aggregation of malignant cells. A review of open lung biopsies and necropsies of autologous marrow recipients treated in Seattle identified no other patients with pulmonary malignancy who lacking previous lung tumor or evidence of contiguous pulmonary and mediastinal involvement. These observations raise questions about the assessment of pre-harvest marrow involvement and the need for marrow purging. This case also suggests that organ and tissue localization of malignant cells may be determined by abnormally expressed 'homing' ligands.
