Clinical, Pathologic, and Molecular spectrum of Angioinmmunoblastic T-cell Lymphoma Cutaneous Lesions: Clinical, Pathologic, and Molecular Analysis.

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is an aggressive malignancy that frequently presents with extranodal involvement. Cutaneous tropism is clinically and histopathologically variable, which may pose a diagnostic challenge. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 40 samples of 20 cases of cutaneous AITL, focusing on the clinicopathologic and molecular correlations between skin and lymph node (LN) samples.

to: Breast implant-associated Epstein-Barr virus-positive large B-cell lymphomas: a report of three cases.

In reference to our paper published in the August issue 2020 of Haematologica,1 the sentence "funded by the European Union Next Generation EU, funds that finance the actions of the Recovery and Resilience Mechanism (RRM)" in the Funding was missing. We need to add it to justify the project. So the Funding paragraph should read as follows: Funding: this work was supported by grants from the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII) of the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competence, co-funded by European Union (FEDER) (ERDF/ESF, "A way to make Europe"/"Investing in your future" (MINECO, ISCIII) funded by the European Union Next Generation EU, funds that finance the actions of the Recovery and Resilience Mechanism (RRM) (Plan Nacional I+D+I: PI17/02172, PI21/01724, 15826/004, 41163/005 and PMP21/00015), AECC, the Madrid Autonomous Community and STARTUP2020/L2566.

Different Mutational Profiles of Subcutaneous Panniculitis-like T-cell Lymphoma and Lupus Panniculitis: An Additional Case Series.

Background: Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a rare cytotoxic T-cell lymphoma with indolent behavior, mostly present in women and associated with immunological diseases whose pathogenic background is still poorly understood. SPTCL is associated with lupus erythematosus panniculitis (LEP) and histologically misdiagnosed.

Objectives: The aim of our study was to identify mutations affecting the pathogenesis of both SPTCL and LEP.

Intraparenchymal low-grade B-cell lymphomas of the central nervous system: Clinicopathologic and molecular analysis of three cases and a review of the literature.

Primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphomas represent 1 % of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas, with diffuse large B-cell lymphomas as the prevailing subtype. Low-grade B-cell lymphomas are exceptional with only 24 marginal zone B-cell lymphomas (EMZL) and 1 follicular lymphoma (FL) previously reported so far. While their molecular profiles are studied elsewhere, data on primary intraparenchymal CNS cases remain limited.

Association of both BCL2 positive and negative follicular lymphoma to clasical Hodgkin lymphoma and/or gray zone lymphoma.

We present a series of 9 follicular lymphomas that progressed/transformed into classical Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL). Three cases of CHL showed a syncytial pattern (SCHL) making the differential diagnosis to Gray zone lymphoma (GZL) challenging. None of these three cases presented in the mediastinum.

Urticarial mycosis fungoides: A distinctive presentation with blood involvement and a peculiar immunophenotype.

Mycosis fungoides (MF) has been widely reported to mimick a considerable number of different dermatoses, including scarring alopecia, bullous dermatoses or cysts, and comedones. In atypical presentations, histopathology is essential for the diagnosis. We present two cases of MF with clinical urticarial lesions and a striking blood involvement that responded to mogamulizumab treatment.

Presence of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) antigens detected by sensitive methods has no influence on local immune environment in diffuse large B cell lymphoma.

EBV+ diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified (NOS) is a new entity confirmed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2017. In this new entity, the virus may contribute to a tolerogenic microenvironment. Traces of the virus have been described in DLBCL with more sensitive methods, in cases that were originally diagnosed as negative.

Clinical, Histopathological and Molecular Spectrum of Cutaneous Lesions in Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MDS/MPN): An Integrative Review.

Myeloid neoplasms and acute leukemias include different entities that have been recently re-classified taking into account molecular and clinicopathological features. The myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MDS/MPN) category comprises a heterogeneous group of hybrid neoplastic myeloid diseases characterized by the co-occurrence of clinical and pathological features of both myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative neoplasms. The most frequent entity in this category is chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) which is, after acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the main myeloid disorder prone to develop cutaneous manifestations.

Leukaemic Presentation of Small-Cell Alk-Positive Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma in a Young Woman-Report of a Case with 9-Year Survival.

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) with leukaemic presentation (either ab initio or along the course of the disease) has been rarely reported. Irrespective of ALK expression in the neoplastic cells, it features a dismal prognosis. We report a rare case of leukaemic, small cell variant ALK-positive ALCL with 9-year survival in a young woman who was treated upfront with corticosteroids and standard chemotherapy, and review thoroughly the previously published cases.

Lymphomas with plasmablastic features: a report of the lymphoma workshop of the 20th meeting of the European Association for Haematopathology.

Lymphomas with plasmablastic features are a heterogeneous group of aggressive and mostly uncommon neoplasms of varied aetiologies, presenting in immunocompetent individuals as well as in immunodeficiency, associated with EBV and Kaposi sarcoma virus infections, and some as progression from indolent B-cell lymphomas. They show overlapping diagnostic features and pose a differential diagnosis with other aggressive B-cell lymphomas that can downregulate the B-cell expression programme. The spectrum of rare reactive proliferations and all lymphomas defined by plasmablastic features, together with an expanding range of poorly characterised, uncommon conditions at the interface between reactive lymphoid proliferations and neoplasia submitted to the session V of the 20 European Association for Haematopathology/Society for Hematopathology lymphoma workshop are summarised and discussed in this paper.

Mediastinal large B cell lymphoma and surrounding gray areas: a report of the lymphoma workshop of the 20th meeting of the European Association for Haematopathology.

Session 3 of the 2021 European Association for Haematopathology/Society for Hematopathology Workshop focused on mediastinal large B cell lymphomas and surrounding gray areas. One half of the session was dedicated to primary mediastinal large B cell lymphoma (PMBL) and included cases with classic clinicopathologic features, as well as cases with either morphologic or immunophenotypic variation, and PMBL-like cases with primary extramediastinal disease. The role of additional immunophenotyping and/or molecular testing to aid in the diagnosis of PMBL was discussed.

Peripheral T-cell lymphoma with a T follicular-helper phenotype: A different entity? Results of the Spanish Real-T study.

Nodal peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) with a T follicular helper phenotype (PTCL-TFH) is a new type of PTCL. We aimed to define its clinical characteristics and prognosis compared to PTCL not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL). This retrospective observational study included 175 patients diagnosed with PTCL between 2008 and 2013 in 13 Spanish sites.

Anaplastic large cell lymphomas with the 6p25.3 rearrangement are a heterogeneous group of tumours with a diverse molecular background.

ALK-negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) cases with 6p25.3 rearrangement are characterized by peculiar morphological and immunohistochemical features compare to 6p25.3-negative ALK-negative ALCL cases.

Concurrent Presentation of Mycosis Fungoides and Primary Cutaneous Marginal Zone LPD: Clinicopathological Study of 4 Cases and Literature Review.

Background: Mycosis fungoides is rarely associated to B-cell malignancies, and the few reported cases are mainly internal lymphomas involving secondarily the skin (ie, chronic lymphocytic leukemia).

Objectives: The aim of our study is to describe the clinical and histopathological features of 4 patients presenting with 2 concurrent primary cutaneous lymphomas and review the pertinent literature.

Methods: We identified 4 cases of concurrent primary cutaneous lymphomas in our institutions.

An integrated prognostic model for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma treated with immunochemotherapy.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most frequent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma subtype, is characterized by strong biological, morphological, and clinical heterogeneity, but patients are treated with immunochemotherapy in a relatively homogeneous way. Here, we have used a customized NanoString platform to analyze a series of 197 homogeneously treated DLBCL cases. The platform includes the most relevant genes or signatures known to be useful for predicting response to R-CHOP (Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, and Prednisone) in DLBCL cases.
