PG - 866-73 LID - 10.1038/modpathol.2010.63 [doi] AB - Marginal zone lymphomas present rarely in children and young adults as either primary nodal or extranodal disease and have an excellent prognosis. To date, chromosomal aberrations have not been analyzed in the pediatric and young adult population. We undertook a study to analyze genetic alterations in nodal and extranodal marginal zone lymphomas in children and young adults using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and RT-PCR. These findings were correlated with clinical features at presentation and immunophenotype. Forty-one cases were identified meeting these criteria. The age range was 1.5-29 years old with 49% of the cases <18 years of age. 73% of the marginal zone lymphoma cases showed evidence of light chain restriction by immunohistochemistry or flow cytometry. CD43 was coexpressed in 83%. 85% of the marginal zone lymphoma cases tested showed evidence of immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangement. Fifty-nine percent of the cases were nodal marginal zone lymphomas with a median age at presentation of 16 years and an M/F ratio of 7:1. Twenty-one percent of the nodal marginal zone lymphoma cases contained genetic aberrations. Seventeen percent contained trisomy 18 with one case containing an additional trisomy 3. A translocation of the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene to an unknown partner gene was present in one case. Forty-one percent of the cases were extranodal marginal zone lymphomas with a median age of 24 years and a M/F ratio of 1.4:1. Eighteen percent of the extranodal marginal zone lymphoma cases contained genetic aberrations. The t(14;18) involving the IGH and MALT1 genes was present in one case, tetraploidy was present in one case, and another case contained trisomy 3. Overall the incidence of genetic aberrations in marginal zone lymphomas in the pediatric and young adult population is low, but the aberrations seen are similar to those seen in the adult population.
