Incidental and Isolated Follicular Lymphoma In Situ and Mantle Cell Lymphoma In Situ Lack Clinical Significance.

Follicular lymphoma in situ (FLIS) and mantle cell lymphoma in situ (MCLIS) are histopathologic findings of undetermined clinical significance. We studied a series of 341 consecutive lymph node resection specimens from patients diagnosed with colorectal (201 cases) and breast (140 cases) adenocarcinoma between 1998 and 2000. Incidental and isolated FLIS was identified in 11/341 patients (3.

Primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphomas with 6p25.3 rearrangement exhibit particular histological features.

Aims: CD30-positive primary cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorders include several entities with differing clinical presentation but overlapping histological features, including lymphomatoid papulosis and primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (C-ALCL). DUSP22-IRF4 locus translocation is present in 20-57% of C-ALCLs, and has also been described in a series of 11 lymphomatoid papulosis patients, where it was associated with a particular biphasic histological pattern, including pagetoid reticulosis-type epidermal infiltration. We aimed to study whether the presence of this translocation may define distinctive histological features in C-ALCL.
