Q

DDx for CD30+ lymphomas

HL, BCL(5), TCL(5)

A

I. cHL

II. BCL
* Anaplastic variant of DLBCL
* ALK+ LBCL
* PBL
* 1’ effusion lymphoma
* Lymphomatoid granulomatosis

III. TCL
* ATCL
* PTCL, NOS
* ALCL
* Extranodal NK/TCL

17
Q

CHL subtypes tend to have a male predominance, with the exception of which subtype?

A
  • Nodular sclerosing HL
    • slight female predominance
18
Q

What is the expression of OCT2 and BOB1

in CHL HS cells?

A
  • absence of the transcription factor (OCT2) and its cofactor (BOB1)

Note: EMA is also negative in most cases

19
Q

How can CHL lymphoma be mistaken for ALCL

and what IHC helps differentiate the two well?

A
  • if the CHL is rich in neopastic cells it can morphologically resemble ALCL
  • IHC
    • CHL = PAX5 (+)
      • EMA and ALK protein (-)
    • Detection of EBV (LMP1) favors CHL over ALCL as well
20
Q

What is one of the most difficult d/d

with CHL to differentiate?

A
  • DLBCL with anaplastic morphology and CD30 (+) cells
    • especially if it is within the mediastinum
21
Q

DDx for Intrainusoidal Growth Pattern

A
  1. TLGL
  2. NKLGL
  3. Hepatosplenic TCL
  4. SMZL
  5. SDRP Lymphoma
  6. SBCLwPN
22
Q

Presence of MYD88 mutations point to which entity instead of SMZL?

A

Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma

Note: although rarely SMZL can have this mutation.

23
Q

Different causitive factors in MALT lymphoma?

A
  • Gastric - H.Pylori
    • t(18;14)
    • Treatment = Eradication of H. Pylori (PPI, Clarithromycin, Amoxil/Metronidazole)
    • If they do not respond = RadioTx/Chemo
  • Ocular - Chlamydia
  • Skin - B. Burgdorferi
  • Salivatory glands - Sjogren
