Background: Concurrent follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)was reported in some studies, while the diagnosis of TdT (terminal deoxynucleotydil transferase) positive high grade B cell lymphoma (HGBL) with MYC and BCL2 rearrangements ("double hit") transformed from FL/DLBCL has been rarely reported. Herein, we described the clinical features and mutation profiles of a case diagnosed with TdT positive "double hit" HGBL following the treatment of FL/DLBCL.
Case Presentation: This is a 43-year-old Chinese man who was diagnosed with low grade FL (account for 80%) combined with DLBCL (20%) at a stage of IVB.

In the modern era, classification of neoplasms not only depends on immunomorphological features but also on specific disease-defining genetic events. Translocations/rearrangements of MYC/8q24 locus combined with BCL-2 or BCL6 translocations (double/triple hit) are considered hallmarks of high-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBL), a type of aggressive mature B-cell lymphoma. When cases with immature immunophenotypes present these rearrangements, diagnosis becomes very difficult.

Chromosomal breakpoints involving the MYC gene locus, frequently referred to as MYC rearrangements (MYC - R+), are a diagnostic hallmark of Burkitt lymphoma and recurrent in many other subtypes of B-cell lymphomas including follicular lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and other high-grade B-cell lymphomas and are associated with an aggressive clinical course. In remarkable contrast, in MCL, only few MYC - R+ cases have yet been described. In the current study, we have retrospectively analysed 16 samples (MYC - R+, n = 15, MYC - R-, n = 1) from 13 patients and describe their morphological, immunophenotypic and (molecular) genetic features and clonal evolution patterns.
