The role of CD11c expression in the diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma.

چکیده
Flow cytometric immunophenotyping (FCI) aids in the differentiation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) from mantle cell lymphoma (MCL); however, overlapping phenotypes may occur. CD11c expression has been reported in up to 90% of CLL cases but has rarely been reported in MCL. Whether CD11c can be used to exclude MCL has not been directly addressed. FCI reports were reviewed for 90 MCL cases (44 patients) and 355 CLL/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) cases (158 patients). MCL cases were confirmed by cyclin D1 immunoreactivity and/or t(11;14) detection by karyotyping or fluorescence in situ hybridization. Cases with typical MCL immunophenotypes did not express CD11c. The 2 MCL cases displaying dim CD11c positivity (2 of 44 patients) expressed other markers not typical of MCL. CD11c was detected in 96 (27.0%) of 355 cases of CLL/SLL representing 53 of 158 patients. CD11c expression is rare in MCL and may aid in differentiation of CD5+ B-cell neoplasms, particularly when small samples limit further ancillary testing.

Mantle Cell Lymphoma with Multiple Lymphomatous Polyposis Presenting With Intussusceptions
Mantle cell lymphoma is an aggressive type of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that originates from small to medium sized lymphocytes located in the mantle zone of the lymph node. The gastrointestinal tract is the predominant site of extranodal involvement in the form of multiple lymphomatous polyposis. Multiple lymphomatous polyposis due to mantle cell lymphoma presenting with intussusception is ...

We evaluated the expression of 10 adhesion molecules on peripheral blood tumor cells of 17 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, 17 with mantle-cell lymphoma, and 13 with nodal or splenic marginal B-cell lymphoma, all in the leukemic phase and before the beginning of any therapy. The diagnosis of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas was based on cytological, histological, immunophenotypic, and ...

Background: Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHLs) is known as a heterogeneous group of malignant lymphoproliferative disorders. NHLs are classified into B cell and T cell types. Immunophenotypical assessment of the biopsy specimens can help diagnose NHLs. Methods: In this study, 77 patients with B cell and T cell lymphoma were selected from Shahid Sadoghi hospital during 2010 to 2...
