High-grade B-cell lymphoma with and rearrangements is a rare lymphoma which has highly aggressive clinical manifestations. The reporting case is a 72-year-old female presented with lumbago and weakness in the lower limb due to a mass at T8-10 revealed by computed tomography (CT) scan. Histological feature of the lesion shows an abundant and diffuse large lymphoid cells infiltration. Immunophenotype meets with germ center B cell (GCB) lymphoma (Hans algorithm). and gene rearrangements are detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). It's a rare and typical case of high-grade B-cell lymphoma with and rearrangements with uncommon clinical manifestation.

High-grade-B-cell lymphoma (HGBL) with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements (double hit [HGBL-DH] or triple hit [HGBL-TH]), or not otherwise specified (HGBL-NOS), are considered to be more aggressive diseases among large B-cell lymphomas (LBCL). CD19-targeting Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cells have changed the prognosis of chemoresistant LBCL. Clinical and pathological data of patients treated for relapsed/refractory LBCL or HGBL in third line or more, all characterized by FISH, were collected from the French DESCAR-T registry.

Background: Anti-CD19 CAR-T therapy has been a breakthrough in treatment of primary refractory or relapsed large B-cell lymphoma (r/r LBCL) and is poised to supplant previous second line of high dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDT/ASCT). However, in clinical practice, high risk patients with chemoimmunotherapy sensitive disease continue to receive salvage chemoimmunotherapy or cannot access CAR-T in a timely manner and thus may still proceed to HDT/ASCT. Little is known about clinical outcomes of CAR-T in patients who receive HDT/ASCT compared to those who are transplant-naïve.

A 46-year-old female presented with back pain associated with progressive bilateral lower extremity weakness and paresthesia. Imaging studies revealed a retroperitoneal mass with severe spinal compression. Histological sections showed blastoid cells with large nuclei, irregular membranes, fine chromatin, and prominent nucleoli.

Background: While immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) is a well-defined adverse effect associated with chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cell (CAR-T) therapy, some patients develop prolonged neurologic symptoms. Few studies have examined characteristics and outcomes of patients who develop such symptoms.
Objective: To provide an analysis of patients who developed ICANS in a single-center cohort of patients with large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) who received commercial CAR-T and compare characteristics and outcomes between patients with vs.
