Mixed-phenotype leukemia (MPAL) is a type of acute leukemia in which the blast population shows mixed features of myeloid, T-lymphoid, and/or B-lymphoid differentiation. MPALs are rare and carry a poor prognosis, thus, often pose both a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Conventionally, the diagnosis of MPAL requires either a single blast population with a lineage-defining phenotypic expression of multiple lineages (myeloid, B-cell and/or T-cell) (biphenotypic) or two distinct blast populations that each independently satisfy criteria for designation as AML, B-ALL, and/or T-ALL (bilineage).

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is a neoplastic proliferation of T follicular helper cells with clinical and histological presentations suggesting a role of antigenic drive in its development. Genetically, it is characterized by a stepwise acquisition of somatic mutations, with early mutations involving epigenetic regulators (TET2, DNMT3A) and occurring in haematopoietic stem cells, with subsequent changes involving signaling molecules (RHOA, VAV1, PLCG1, CD28) critical for T-cell biology. To search for evidence of potential oncogenic cooperation between genetic changes and intrinsic T cell receptor (TCR) signaling, we investigated somatic mutations and T-cell receptor β (TRB) rearrangement in 119 AITL, 11 peripheral T-cell lymphomas with T follicular helper phenotype (PTCL-TFH), and 25 PTCL-NOS using Fluidigm polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Illumina MiSeq sequencing.

The cytological examination is in some cases inconclusive and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for antigen receptor rearrangement (PARR) has become a common method to confirm or rule out a lymphoproliferative neoplasia. According to the literature, leishmaniosis may lead to clonal arrangements and therefore to a false diagnosis of lymphoma, but this assumption is made from a single leishmania infected dog.

We report 2 cases of composite lymphoma comprising mantle cell lymphoma and peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified, a rare association that has only been reported twice in the literature. In case 1, a 64-year-old woman presented with massive splenomegaly and lymphadenopathy. Immunohistochemical studies of the lymph node biopsy suggested the presence of 2 lymphomas, a predominant component of a peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified and an in situ mantle cell neoplasia.
