We report a unique, aggressive B-cell lymphoma that developed after the long-term remission of follicular lymphoma (FL). FL cells were negative for CD5, whereas aggressive lymphoma cells were positive for CD5. In FL, one immunoglobulin heavy chain gene (IGH) allele underwent V/D/J recombination and another t(14;18)(q32;q21). In aggressive lymphoma, one IGH allele underwent D/J recombination and another translocation, but not t(14;18)(q32;q21). An aggressive lymphoma-specific D/J sequence was detected in FL tissue. Our results indicated that the two tumors arose from distinct B cells and that they existed concurrently in the same lymph node.
我们报告了一例在滤泡性淋巴瘤(FL)长期缓解后发生的独特的侵袭性B细胞淋巴瘤。FL细胞CD5呈阴性,而侵袭性淋巴瘤细胞CD5呈阳性。在FL中,一个免疫球蛋白重链基因(IGH)等位基因发生了V/D/J重排,另一个发生了t(14;18)(q32;q21)。在侵袭性淋巴瘤中,一个IGH等位基因发生了D/J重排和另一种易位,但不是t(14;18)(q32;q21)。在FL组织中检测到一种侵袭性淋巴瘤特异性的D/J序列。我们的结果表明,这两种肿瘤起源于不同的B细胞,并且它们同时存在于同一淋巴结中。
