- Abstract:
- In contrast to nodal large B-cell lymphomas, recurrent chromosomal aberrations have been studied only in a small number of cases of primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PCDLBCL). We investigated 25 PCDLBCLs (classified according to the WHO-EORTC classification into PCDLBCL, leg-type, 8; and PCDLBCL, other, 17), using an interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization technique. All cases were analyzed for chromosomal aberrations commonly observed in nodal large B-cell lymphomas, including structural aberrations of the genes BCL2, BCL6, and c-MYC, and numerical aberrations of the chromosomes/genes 3, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18q, RB1, and p53. We observed genetic aberrations in 19 (76%) of 25 patients. The most frequent numerical aberrations were gains of chromosome 12 (7 of 25, 28%), 7 (5 of 25, 20%), 3 (5 of 25, 20%), 18q (3 of 25, 12%), 11 (3 of 25, 12%), X (3 of 25, 12%), and losses of chromosome/gene 17/p53 (3 of 25, 12%). BCL2, c-MYC, and BCL6 were rearranged with the IGH gene in 4 (16%), 1 (4%), and none (0%) of 25 cases, respectively. Most aberrations were homogeneously distributed among cases of PCDLBCL, leg-type and of PCDLBCL, other, cases located on the leg or at other body sites, cases with round and cleaved cell morphology, and Bcl-2+ and Bcl-2- cases. These results suggest that PCDLBCLs show similar chromosomal aberrations irrespective of classification, anatomic site, cell morphology, and Bcl-2 expression, and that many similarities between primary cutaneous and nodal diffuse large B-cell lymphomas can be observed.
