PG - 100043 LID - S0893-3952(22)00043-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.modpat.2022.100043 [doi] AB - Distinguishing between follicular lymphoma (FL) and nodal marginal zone lymphoma (NMZL) can be difficult when morphologic and phenotypic features are unusual and characteristic cytogenetic rearrangements are absent. We evaluated the diagnostic contribution of ancillary techniques-including fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)-detected 1p36 deletion; reverse-transcriptase, multiplex, ligation-dependent probe amplification (RT-MLPA); and next-generation sequencing (NGS)-for tumors that remain unclassified according to standard criteria. After review, 50 CD5-negative small B-cell lymphoid neoplasms without BCL2 and BCL6 FISH rearrangements were diagnosed as FLs (n = 27), NMZLs (n = 5), or unclassified (n = 18) based on the 2016 World Health Organization Classification of Tumours of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues. FISH helped identify the 1p36 deletion in 3 FLs and 1 unclassified tumor. Most classified FLs had an RT-MLPA germinal center B-cell (GCB) signature (93%) or were noncontributive (7%). Classified NMZLs had an RT-MLPA activated B-cell signature (20%), had an unassigned signature (40%), or were noncontributive (40%). Among unclassified tumors, the RT-MLPA GCB signature was associated with mutations most commonly found in FLs (CREBBP, EZH2, STAT6, and/or TNFRSF14) (90%). An RT-MLPA-detected GCB signature and/or NGS-detected gene mutations were considered as FL identifiers for 13 tumors. An activated B-cell signature or NOTCH2 mutation supported NMZL diagnosis in 3 tumors. Combining the RT-MLPA and NGS findings successfully discriminated 89% of unclassified tumors in favor of one or the other diagnosis. NGS-detected mutations may be of therapeutic interest. Herein, we detected 3 EZH2 and 8 CREBBP mutations that might be eligible for targeted therapies. CI - Copyright (c) 2022 United States & Canadian Academy of Pathology. Published by Elsevier Inc.
