To describe the clinicopathologic findings of seven patients with CD5-positive nodal marginal zone lymphoma (NMZL).
We searched cases of NMZL over a 10-year interval and identified seven cases of CD5-positive NMZL. The clinical, histologic, and immunophenotypic findings of this group were reviewed, and the frequency of dissemination in this group was compared with that of 66 patients with CD5-negative NMZL.
Other than CD5 expression, the histologic and immunophenotypic findings were typical of NMZL. Six (86%) of seven patients had lymphadenopathy above and below the diaphragm, and all six patients assessed had bone marrow involvement. In the CD5-negative group, 28 (42%) patients had lymphadenopathy above and below the diaphragm, and 36 (55%) had bone marrow involvement (P = .045 and P = .037, respectively). Six of seven patients were alive at last follow-up, with a median follow-up of 32 months (3-154 months).
CD5 expression in NMZL correlates with a higher frequency of dissemination, but patients have an indolent clinical course and excellent overall survival.
描述 7 例 CD5 阳性结内边缘区淋巴瘤(NMZL)患者的临床病理特征。
我们在 10 年间检索了 NMZL 病例,并鉴定出 7 例 CD5 阳性 NMZL。回顾了该组患者的临床、组织学和免疫表型特征,并比较了该组的播散频率与 66 例 CD5 阴性 NMZL 患者的播散频率。
除了 CD5 表达之外,这些组织学和免疫表型特征均为 NMZL 的典型表现。7 例患者中的 6 例(86%)存在膈上下淋巴结病,且所有 6 例评估患者均存在骨髓受累。在 CD5 阴性组中,28 例(42%)患者存在膈上下淋巴结病,36 例(55%)患者存在骨髓受累(P=.045 和 P=.037)。在最后一次随访时,7 例患者中的 6 例存活,中位随访时间为 32 个月(3-154 个月)。
NMZL 中的 CD5 表达与更高的播散频率相关,但患者具有惰性的临床病程和极好的总体生存率。
