2 categories of Hodgkin lymphoma
o Nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma
o Classical Hodgkin lymphoma
• B-cell neoplasm composed of relatively rare neoplastic cells (lymphocytic/histiocytic or “popcorn” cells) scattered within nodules of reactive lymphocytes
Nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma
do cells of Nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma show EBV infection
No
- heterogenous group of lymphoid neoplasms derived from the germinal center.
- presence of relatively few diagnostic neoplastic cells, Reed-Sternberg cells, in a rich reactive background
Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma
in the United States and Europe, it is a common form of lymphoma occurring in young adults
Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma
subtypes of Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (4)
- Nodular sclerosis
- Mixed cellularity
- Lymphocyte rich
- Lymphocyte depleted
what cells are present in all subtypes of classical Hodgkin lymphoma
reed-sternberg cells
large lymphoid cell with a bilobed nucleus or two nuclei with prominent eosinophilic nucleoli and abundant cytoplasm (what cell which is present in classical Hodgkin lymphoma)
reed-sternberg cells
what cell is pathognmonic for Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma
reed-sternberg cells
variants of reed-sternberg cells
large mononuclear lymphoid cells with an oval nucleus, thick nuclear membrane, distinct eosinophilic nucleolus, and abundant cytoplasm
Hodgkin cells
variants of reed-sternberg cells - degenerated or apoptotic cells with a pyknotic nucleus and condensed cytoplasm
Mummified cells
variants of reed-sternberg cells - occur predominantly in the nodular sclerosis variant of classical Hodgkin lymphoma and are characterized by a lobated nucleus and artifactual retraction of the cytoplasm secondary to formalin fixation. Because of this artifact, the cells appear to be situated in a clear space
Lacunar cells
which category of hodgkin lymphoma show EBV infection
classical hodgkin lymphoma
what subtype of classical hodgkin lymphoma
presence of broad collagen bands transecting the lymph node, thickening of the nodal capsule and lacunar cells
Nodular sclerosis classical Hodgkin lymphoma
most common of all the subtypes of classical Hodgkin lymphoma, accounting for 70% of cases
Nodular sclerosis classical Hodgkin lymphoma
what subtype of classical hodgkin lymphoma
background cellularity includes small lymphocytes, eosinophils, and histiocytes
Nodular sclerosis classical Hodgkin lymphoma
what subtype of classical hodgkin lymphoma
• frequency of immunohistochemically demonstrable EBV infection is lowest in this variant
Nodular sclerosis classical Hodgkin lymphoma
what subtype of classical hodgkin lymphoma
Reed-Sternberg cells and their variants scattered among the diffuse background proliferation of small lymphocytes, histiocytes, eosinophils, neutrophils, and plasma cells.
Mixed cellularity classical Hodgkin lymphoma
what subtype of classical hodgkin lymphoma
Typical Reed-Sternberg cells, mononuclear Hodgkin cells, and mummified cells are seen; however, lacunar cells are absent.
Mixed cellularity classical Hodgkin lymphoma
what subtype of classical hodgkin lymphoma
fibrotic bands and capsular thickening are not seen
Mixed cellularity classical Hodgkin lymphoma
what subtype of classical hodgkin lymphoma
Scattered mononuclear Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells seen along with a vaguely nodular background of small lymphocytes
Lymphocyte-rich classical Hodgkin lymphoma
what subtype of classical hodgkin lymphoma
Nodules represent remnants of mantle zones and residual germinal centers
Lymphocyte-rich classical Hodgkin lymphoma
what subtype of classical hodgkin lymphoma
Background cellularity is less heterogeneous
Lymphocyte-rich classical Hodgkin lymphoma
what subtype of classical hodgkin lymphoma
Uncommon variant of classical Hodgkin lymphoma
Lymphocyte-depleted classical Hodgkin lymphoma
what subtype of classical hodgkin lymphoma
Predominant in immunodeficient patients
Lymphocyte-depleted classical Hodgkin lymphoma
what subtype of classical hodgkin lymphoma
Scarcity (paucity) of cells of reactive background
Lymphocyte-depleted classical Hodgkin lymphoma
what subtype of classical hodgkin lymphoma
Neoplastic Reed-Sternberg cells and their variants are much more frequent
• Cells show evidence of EBV infection
Lymphocyte-depleted classical Hodgkin lymphoma
only subtype of classical Hodgkin lymphoma which occurs in slightly older population (because majority: young adults)
lymphocyte-rich variant
only subtype of classical Hodgkin lymphoma which does not involve peripheral lymph node
nodular sclerosis
subtype of classical Hodgkin lymphoma which shows mediastinal lymphadenopathy
nodular sclerosis
subtype of classical Hodgkin lymphoma which
with the best prognosis
nodular sclerosis
subtype of classical Hodgkin lymphoma which is the most aggressive variant of classical Hodgkin lymphoma especially in HIV-positive patients
Lymphocyte-depleted Hodgkin lymphoma
