INTERESTING CASE DISCUSSION - HEMATOLOGY DR TAMIL NILA POST GRADUATE
Case History A 65 year old female came with complaints of generalised lymphadenopathy Peripheral smear and Bone Marrow Aspiration was done
Peripheral Smear RBC – Hypochromic microcytes, normochromic normocytes, few macrocytes & polychromatophils WBC count normal. Few activated lymphocytes DC: N – 64 L – 30% E – 04% M – 02% Platelets normal in number & morphology
Bone Marrow Partly diluted marrow Erythropoiesis – MNB, NB Maturation Leucopoiesis active Atypical Blastoid cells upto 25% Megakaryocytes seen
Past History – Lymph node biopsy Excision biopsy from the Nodes showed effacement of architecture showing diffuse monotonous proliferation of lymphocytes Lymphoproliferative disorder
Past history - Immunohistochemistry CD 20 – positive CD 15 – negative CD 30 – Negative CD 3 – Negative Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
Lymphoma spill over in the Bone marrow In Correlation with the clinical history
Lymphoma work up Biopsy of lymph node/ organ showing lymphoma IHC History of B symptoms Blood counts Peripheral smear Bone marrow aspirate & Biopsy LDH, β 2 macroglobulin Rule out tumour lysis syndrome Radiology Gallium scan Staging
INTERNATIONAL PROGNOSTIC INDEX Age LDH Performance status Stage No of Extranodal sites Bone Marrow involvement
Patterns of Bone Marrow involvement
Frequency of Bone Marrow Involvement Lymphoma Percentage Follicular Lymphoma (Grade 1) 30.4% DLBCL 16% Mantle cell Lymphoma 9.3% Low Grade B cell lymphoma, NOS 8.7% Follicular Lymphoma (Grade 2) 7.1% Mature T & NK Cell Lymphoma 6.4%
Bone marrow involvement in CLL/SLL B cell Prolymphocytic leukemia Splenic Marginal zone lymphoma Hairy cell leukemia Follicular Lymphoma Lymphoplasmacytic Leukemia Mantle cell lymphoma DLBCL Burkitt lymphoma Intravascular B cell Lymphoma T – LGL leukemia T cell Prolymphocytic Leukemia Angioimmunoblastic T cell Lymphoma Anaplastic large cell lymphoma Hepatosplenic T cell Lymphoma Adult T cell Leukemia T cell /Histiocyte rich large B cell lymphoma Classical Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
Peripheral smear – CLL/SLL Small cells Clumped chromatin Minimal cytoplasm Larger cells – Prolymphocytes Single Prominent nucleolus Atypical CLL Larger cells Open chromatin
Bone Marrow Aspirate Small inconspicuous lymphocytes Large transformed cells with prominent nucleoli Richter transformation
Bone Marrow Biopsy in CLL Nodular Pattern Interstitial
Bone Marrow & IHC Lymphoma cells in sinusoids Vague interstitial small lymphoid infiltrate CD 20 immunohistochemical study
Peripheral Smear - Hairy cell leukemia Medium sized cells Cytoplasm – abundant pale blue Circumferential projections Fine hair-like Nucleus – oval Inconspicuous nucleoli
Bone Marrow - Hairy cell leukemia Dry tap- reticulin fibrosis Monomorphic lymphoid cell collection Usually Sinusoidal pattern Fried egg appearance – central nucleus Abundant cytoplasm Distinct cell boarders Suppressed erythropoiesis
IHC CD 20 CD 11c TRAP
Transcription factor – T Box (T-Bet) CD 123
BRAF V600E DBA44
Paratrabecular growth Buttock cells Lymphoglandular bodies Suppresses hematopoiesis 2 cell types Centrocyte Small Irregular Dark nuclei Centroblast Larger Vesicular chromatin Peripheral nucleoli Bone Marrow -Follicular lymphoma
IHC CD 20 CD 10 BCL 6 BCL 2
Bone marrow - Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma Post follicular B cell committed to plasma cell differentiation Bone marrow involved in most cases Dilated sinus – eosinophilic plasma protein Dutcher Bodies + Hemosiderin laden macrophages
IHC Kappa light chain – positive Lambda – Negative CD 19+ CD 20+ CD 138 + CD 38 + Lymphoid Plasmacytic
Bone Marrow - Mantle cell Lymphoma Small – medium sized lymphoid cells Resembling centrocytes Cyclin D1 + IHC depends on stage of cell cycle CD 5 + (weak) Any Pattern on BM infiltration
Blastoid variant Blastoid cells in peripheral smear Large, open chromatin, deeply clefted nuclear contour High mitotic count – BM Cyclin D1 negative SOX 11 positive
Bone Marrow - Diffuse Large B cell Lymphoma BM involved in 1/4 th Centroblastic / immunoblastic/pleomorphic cells CD 20 + BCL 2 + (double expresser)
Burkitt lymphoma – Bone marrow Medium sized mature B cell lymphoma Mitotic figures Scattered macrophages Starry sky appearance (10x) Dark blue cytoplasm with clear lipid vacuoles Ki67 +
T – LGL leukemia – PS & BM T cell LGL >2000 cells/cu.mm Cytopenias BM – hypercellular Interstitial or within sinusoids CD3 + CD 8 +
Angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma Paratrabecular Hypercellular Numerous large atypical lymphoid cells Rich in Eosionophils IHC PD-1 + CD 10 + CXCL 3 + CD 20 +
Anaplastic large cell lymphoma Patchy & subtle Large, epitheloid , cohesive cell clusters Loss of multiple pan-T cell antigens “null” phenotype CD 30+
Hepatosplenic T cell lymphoma Patchy ill defined clusters Paratrabecular atypical lymphohistiocytic aggregates Pleomorphic large lymphoid cells IHC TIA – 1 + TCR Beta + CD 68 – Concurrent hemophagocytosis
Adult T cell leukemia Circulating lymphoma cells – clefted, polylobate – flower cells Diffuse interstitial involvement Large cohesive lymphoma cells Irregular nuclear contours IHC CD3 + CD 4 + CD 25 + TCR - beta
Intravascular large B cell lymphoma Large atypical lymphoid cells within vessels IHC CD 20 + Variants Asian - aggressive Western – limited to skin
Classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma Marked paucity of neoplastic cells in a predominantly inflammatory background Vaguely nodular infiltrate at BM Scattered RS cells Large mononuclear cells with eosinophilic nucleoli IHC CD 30 + PAX 5 + PD – L1
T Cell Histiocyte rich large B cell lymphoma Scattered epithelioid granulomas Very few large atypical lymphoid cells within the granulomas Mimics NLPHL IHC CD 20 + ve PD – 1 - ve OCT 2 nuclear immunostain
