De Novo CD5+ Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphomas

CD5 expression in de novo diffuse large B-cell lymphomas.

De novo CD5-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphomas show high specificity for cyclin D2 expression

UNLABELLED D cyclins positively regulate the cell cycle and mediate the pathogenesis of some lymphomas. Cyclin D1 overexpression is the hallmark of mantle cell lymphoma, whereas cyclins D2 and D3 are reportedly not as specific to certain lymphomas as cyclin D1. In this study, cyclin D2 was found to be overexpressed in 98% of de novo CD5-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) (50/51) a...

De novo CD5 Positive Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphomas with Bone Marrow Involvement in Korean

In CD5 positive (CD5+) mature B-cell lymphomas, newly recognized CD5+ diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has been characterized by aggressive features. We studied twenty-five cases with CD5+ lymphomas involving bone marrow. Eleven cases were diagnosed as chronic lymphocytic leukemia, six cases were diagnosed as mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and three cases with morphologic characteristics of M...

De novo CD5+ diffuse large B-cell lymphomas express VH genes with somatic mutation.

To clarify the cellular origin of de novo CD5+ diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (CD5+ DLBL), particularly in comparison with other CD5+ B-cell neoplasms such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), we analyzed the nucleotide sequence of the Ig heavy chain variable region (IgVH) genes of de novo CD5+ DLBL cases. All 4 cases examined had extensive somatic mutations in c...

De novo CD5+ diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. A heterogeneous group containing an unusual form of splenic lymphoma.

We reviewed our institutional experience with de novo CD5+, large B-cell lymphomas to determine whether they represent a distinct entity and are related to CD5+ small B-cell disorders. We identified 13 cases with multiparameter flow cytometry over a period of 58 months (5% of large B-cell lymphomas) in 7 females and 6 males. Three groups were identified. Group 1 (2 cases) had diffuse splenic re...
