European Task Force on Lymphoma project on lymphocyte predominance Hodgkin disease: histologic and immunohistologic analysis of submitted cases reveals 2 types of Hodgkin disease with a nodular growth pattern and abundant lymphocytes.

چکیده
Paraffin blocks and clinical data from 521 patients with lymphocyte predominance Hodgkin disease (LPHD) diagnosed between 1970 and 1994 were collected from 16 European and United States oncological centers to establish the pathologic and clinical characteristics of a large patient cohort, to determine how frequent T-cell-rich large B-cell lymphoma (TCRLBCL) is among LPHD, and to find differential diagnostic criteria distinguishing between the 2 lymphoma categories. For this purpose, conventionally and immunohistologically stained sections were reviewed by a panel of hematopathologists. The diagnosis of LPHD was confirmed in only 219 of the 388 assessable cases (56.5%). This low confirmation rate was due mainly to the presence of a new variant of classical Hodgkin disease (CHD), which resembled, in terms of nodular growth and lymphocyte-richness, nodular LPHD and, in terms of the immunophenotype of the tumor cells, CHD and was designated nodular lymphocyte-rich CHD (NLRCHD). The nodules of LRCHD consisted-as in nodular LPHD-predominantly of B cells but differed from those present in LPHD in that they represented expanded mantle zones with atrophic germinal centers. Clinically, patients with LPHD and NLRCHD showed similar disease characteristics at presentation but differed in the frequency of multiple relapses and prognosis after relapse. Patients with LPHD and NLRCHD clearly differed from patients with CHD with nodular sclerosis or mixed cellularity, as they presented with an earlier disease stage and infrequent mediastinal involvement. As 97% of the LPHD cases showed a complete or partial nodular growth pattern, their differentiation from TCRLBCL was a rare problem in the present series. (Blood. 2000;96:1889-1899)

Lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (LPHL) was first described as Hodgkin’s paragranuloma by Jackson and Parker in 1944 [1]. Subsequently, a number of different terms such as lymphocytic-predominant Hodgkin’s disease or lymphocytic and histiocytic-predominant Hodgkin’s disease were used [2]. LPHL is rare, accounting for 5% of all Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) cases in western countries [3]. LPHL an...

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is characterized by the abnormal expression of multiple cytokines, accounting for its unique clinicopathologic features. We have previously shown that interleukin-13 (IL-13) is secreted by HL cell lines and may serve as an autocrine growth factor. To determine the frequency of IL-13 expression in lymphoma patients, tissue sections from 36 patients with classical HL, 5 pati...

Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a lymphoid tumour that represents about 1% of all de novo neoplasms occurring every year worldwide. Its diagnosis is based on the identification of characteristic neoplastic cells within an inflammatory milieu. Molecular studies have shown that most, if not all cases, belong to the same clonal population, which is derived from peripheral B-cells. The relevance of Epstein-B...
