چکیده

We report a follicular lymphoma (FL) case presenting the coexistence of two tumor cell subpopulations in lymph node (LN) and bone marrow (BM), which exhibited an inverse pattern of immunoglobulin light (IgL) chain gene rearrangement and expression: Igkappa-lambda+ in LN and Igkappa+lambda- in BM. These tumor clones shared an identical BCL2-IgH recombination, accompanying t(14;18)(q32;q21) translocation, and an identical variable, diversity and joining segments joining with clone-specific VH somatic hypermutations on the untranslocated IgH allele. Our study provides further evidence that FL clones, originating from common progenitor cells, can be developed independently at different sites and with different IgL expression after immune selection.

Demonstration of light chain restricted clonal B-lymphoid infiltrates in archival bone marrow trephines by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.

Assessment of clonality either by demonstrating light chain restriction or showing monoclonal immunoglobulin gene rearrangement is a valuable and indispensable adjunct to diagnosis in hematopathology. The study of light chain restriction by immunohistochemistry on archival material is hampered by a very low sensitivity especially regarding low grade lymphomas of B cell origin. DNA rearrangement...

B-cell lymphoma showing typical features of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma

We present a 52-year-old man who was diagnosed with B cell-derived angioimmunoblastic lymphoma. He was admitted with systemic, including mediastinal and para-aortic, lymphadenopathy, fever and skin itching. Histologically, his lymph nodes showed total obliteration of the normal architecture by a polymorphic infiltrate of large-sized lymphocytes with proliferation of arborizing small blood vesse...

Bone marrow origin of a B-cell lymphoma.

To search for precursors of the neoplastic B cells in a patient with a nodular lymphoma, we produced a monoclonal antibody to a variable region idiotope on the lymphoma IgM heavy chain. Clonal ancestors of the lymphoma cells were identified by this marker among bone marrow pre-B cells (5% to 26%). A second antiidiotype (anti-Id) antibody specific for the complete lymphoma IgM kappa recognized 1...

Single cell origin of bigenotypic and biphenotypic B cell proliferations in human follicular lymphomas

To investigate the possible relatedness of the subpopulations that make up so-called biclonal lymphomas, we examined five bigenotypic and biphenotypic follicular lymphomas using DNA probes specific for the t(14;18) chromosomal translocation, which is a characteristic feature of these neoplasms. On Southern blot analysis, both subpopulations from four of five lymphomas contained comigrating t(14...

Immunoglobulin heavy chain gene analysis in bone marrow biopsies and corresponding lymph node specimens: dependency on pre-treatment, histological subtype and extension of B-cell lymphoma.

Bone marrow biopsies (BMB) are the conventional staging method for assessing marrow involvement by lymphoma. Morphological criteria provide basic data determining their dignity, but concerning microfocal infiltrates, these criteria are rather inaccurate. Here, by examination of immunoglobulin H (IgH) receptor rearrangement and comparison of medullar and nodular lymphoma sites, diagnostic reliab...
