PG - 21-31 LID - 10.3960/jslrt.23053 [doi] AB - We characterized 5 B-cell tumors carrying t(14;19)(q32;q13) that creates the IGH::BCL3 fusion gene. The patients' ages ranged between 55 and 88 years. Two patients presented with progression or recurrence of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), two with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of non-germinal center B-like phenotype, and the remaining one with composite angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma and Epstein-Barr virus-positive DLBCL. The presence of t(14;19)(q32;q13) was confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), showing colocalization of 3' IGH and 3' BCL3 probes on der(14)t(14;19) and 5' BCL3 and 5' IGH probes on der(19)t(14;19). One B-CLL case had t(2;14)(p13;q32)/IGH::BCL11A, and 2 DLBCL cases had t(8;14)(q24;q32) or t(8;11;14)(q24;q11;q32), both of which generated IGH::MYC by FISH, and showed nuclear expression of MYC and BCL3 by immunohistochemistry. The IGH::BCL3 fusion gene was amplified by long-distance polymerase chain reaction in 2 B-CLL/SLL cases and the breakpoints occurred immediately 5' of BCL3 exon 1 and within the switch region associated with IGHA1. The 5 cases shared IGHV preferentially used in B-CLL cells, but the genes were unmutated in 2 B-CLL/SLL cases and significantly mutated in the remaining 3. B-cell tumors with t(14;19)(q32;q13) can be divided into B-CLL/SLL and DLBCL groups, and the anatomy of IGH::BCL3 in the latter may be different from that of the former.
