The characteristics of de novo diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with translocation of c-myc and immunoglobulin (Ig) genes (c-myc/Ig DLBCL), were investigated in 13 cases of c-myc/Ig DLBCL. Immunohistochemistry revealed five cases were positive for CD10 and BCL6 expression (CD10(+)/BCL6(+)), five cases of CD10(-)/BCL6(+)/MUM1(-), one case of CD10(-)/BCL6(+)/MUM1(+) and two cases of CD10(-)/BCL6(-)/MUM1(+) expression, indicating 10 cases of germinal center B-cell DLBCL and three cases of non-germinal center B-cell DLBCL. Ongoing mutation of the Ig heavy chain gene variable region (IgH-V) was found in two cases with CD10 and BCL6 expression and one case showing CD10(-)/BCL6(+)/MUM1(-) expression. These three cases of ongoing mutation of the IgH-V gene did not express BCL2, unlike those without ongoing mutation. These results suggest a heterogeneous immunophenotype and genotype for c-myc/Ig DLBCL, with CD10(-)/BCL6(+)/MUM1(-) cases the most frequent.
对13例伴有c-myc和免疫球蛋白(Ig)基因易位的初发性弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL)(c-myc/Ig DLBCL)的特征进行了研究。免疫组织化学显示,5例CD10和BCL6表达阳性(CD10(+)/BCL6(+)),5例CD10(-)/BCL6(+)/MUM1(-),1例CD10(-)/BCL6(+)/MUM1(+),2例CD10(-)/BCL6(-)/MUM1(+)表达,表明10例生发中心B细胞DLBCL和3例非生发中心B细胞DLBCL。在2例CD10和BCL6表达阳性以及1例CD10(-)/BCL6(+)/MUM1(-)表达的病例中发现了Ig重链基因可变区(IgH-V)的持续突变。与未发生持续突变的病例不同,这3例IgH-V基因持续突变的病例不表达BCL2。这些结果表明c-myc/Ig DLBCL具有异质性免疫表型和基因型,其中CD10(-)/BCL6(+)/MUM1(-)病例最为常见。
