To analyze the clinicopathologic characteristics of childhood non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), EBER in situ hybridization was performed in 80 cases of NHLs. EBER-positive lymphomas account for 25% (20/80) and include NK/T-cell lymphoma (6/6), aggressive NK-cell leukemia (1/1), peripheral T cell lymphoma (5/11), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (5/14), hydroa-like T-cell lymphoma (1/1), marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (1/2), and post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorder (1/1). Other types including 19 cases of Burkitt's lymphoma were negative. For 9 EBER-positive cases, immunohistochemical staining for LMP-1, and EBNA-2 was performed to determine the EBV latency pattern. Two of nine EBER-positive cases expressed both LMP-1 and EBNA-2. Clinically, patients with EBV-positive B-cell lymphomas were cured with chemotherapy, whereas EBV-associated NK- and T cell lymphomas pursued fatal clinical course. In conclusion, EBVs infected in childhood NHLs are frequently associated not only with NK- and T- cell lymphomas but also large B-cell lymphomas.
为分析与爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒(EBV)相关的儿童非霍奇金淋巴瘤(NHL)的临床病理特征,对80例NHL进行了EBER原位杂交检测。EBER阳性淋巴瘤占25%(20/80),包括NK/T细胞淋巴瘤(6/6)、侵袭性NK细胞白血病(1/1)、外周T细胞淋巴瘤(5/11)、弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤(5/14)、水疱样T细胞淋巴瘤(1/1)、边缘区B细胞淋巴瘤(1/2)和移植后淋巴细胞增生性疾病(1/1)。其他类型包括19例伯基特淋巴瘤均为阴性。对9例EBER阳性病例进行了LMP-1和EBNA-2免疫组化染色以确定EBV潜伏模式。9例EBER阳性病例中有2例同时表达LMP-1和EBNA-2。临床上,EBV阳性B细胞淋巴瘤患者通过化疗治愈,而EBV相关的NK和T细胞淋巴瘤则呈致命临床病程。总之,儿童NHL中感染的EBV不仅常与NK和T细胞淋巴瘤相关,也与大B细胞淋巴瘤相关。
