A child with a primary lymphoma of bone (PLB) with a t(3;22)(q27;q11) is described.
An 11-year-old boy had a 5-week history of back pain and a destructive lesion of S1 that contained an epidural component. Histologic evaluation of a biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Karyotypic analysis disclosed a t(3;22)(q27;q11), but the amount of tumor tissue was insufficient for molecular studies of the BCL-6 gene.
The patient remains free of disease 4 years after completion of intensive systemic chemotherapy and intrathecal chemotherapy.
The lymphoma in the patient described in this report is highly unusual because of the coexistence of pediatric PLB and a t(3;22)(q27q11).
描述一名患有原发性骨淋巴瘤(PLB)且伴有t(3;22)(q27;q11)的儿童。
一名11岁男孩有5周的背痛病史,S1椎体有一个包含硬膜外成分的破坏性病变。活检的组织学评估证实为弥漫性大B细胞非霍奇金淋巴瘤。核型分析显示存在t(3;22)(q27;q11),但肿瘤组织量不足以进行BCL-6基因的分子研究。
在完成强化全身化疗和鞘内化疗4年后,该患者仍无疾病。
本报告中描述的患者的淋巴瘤非常罕见,因为同时存在儿童PLB和t(3;22)(q27q11)。
