Lineage Switch from Therapy-Related B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia to Pure Erythroid Leukemia Following CD20-Directed Immunotherapy: A Mechanism for Immune Escape? (AMP 2024)

Six weeks later, while receiving the CD20-directed immunotherapies glofitamab and obinutuzumab, another bone marrow biopsy revealed eradication of the B-ALL and new involvement by pure erythroid leukemia (PEL). This patient's B-ALL lacked an IGH::BCL2 fusion resulting from t(14; 18), suggesting it did not arise through transformation of his prior FL/DLBCL. Instead, the B-ALL was likely caused by his extensive exposure to genotoxic chemotherapy drugs – including alkylating agents – for his preceding lymphomas. The shared cytogenetic and molecular features between this patient's B-ALL and PEL imply they are clonally related.

MRD Detection in B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas Using Ig Gene Rearrangements and Chromosomal Translocations as Targets for Real-Time Quantitative PCR and ddPCR. (PubMed, Methods Mol Biol)

However, it should be noted that MRD diagnostics for clinical treatment protocols has to be accompanied by regular international quality control rounds to ensure the reproducibility and reliability of the MRD results. This is available by the EuroMRD network ( https://euromrd.org ), a subgroup of ESHLO ( https://eslho.org ).

Two recurrent types of IGH::5' BCL2 breakpoints representing cytogenetic ins(14;18)(q32;q21q21) and t(14;18)(q32;q21), mediated by the VDJ and class switch recombination processes, respectively. (PubMed, Leuk Lymphoma)

The former is considered to be mediated by VDJ-recombination, while the latter by the class switch recombination process. There were no particular features in FL or CLL cases with IGH::5' BCL2 breakpoints compared with those with t(14;18)(q32;q21)/IGH::BCL2 involving the 3' breakpoint cluster regions.

Diagnostic clues of BCL2-negative, faint, or controversial follicular lymphomas: A study of 103 cases. (PubMed, Hum Pathol)

In conclusion, morphological examination of the distribution of CD20-and/or CD10-positive cells and the presence of diffuse area could be used to diagnose FL in most cases. The majority of the remaining FL cases could be diagnosed using other BCL2 clones and clonality analyses.

IGH/BCL2 Status Better Predicts Clinico-Pathological Behavior in Primary Splenic Follicular Lymphoma than Histological Grade and Other Molecular Markers. (PubMed, Clin Pathol)

This profile is associated with less aggressive clinical behavior even when histopathology represents a high-grade pattern. In such cases splenectomy alone is adequate for localized disease when negative for IGH/BCL2 fusion regardless of histological grade.

[VIRTUAL] Unusual Presentation of Cyclin D1 Expression in a Case of Follicular Lymphoma That Transformed to an Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)–Positive Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (CAP 2021)

The presence of trisomy 11 in a subset of cells may explain the partial cyclin D1 overexpression observed. To avoid an incorrect diagnosis when cyclin D1 expression is observed in part of the lymphoma cells, FISH analysis is critical.

[VIRTUAL] Next generation sequencing of sarcomas: Response to crizotinib in two cases with MET amplification. (ASCO 2021)

Several rare and novel fusions were identified; a sarcoma with TPM4-NTRK3 fusion responded to larotrectinib, while a sarcoma with PML-JAK1 fusion did not respond to ruxolitinib, and a sarcoma with IL7R-BCL2 fusion progressed on venetoclax . NGS profiling led to a targeted therapy with a clinical benefit rate of 12% in this cohort . NGS profiling led to a change in diagnosis in 5% of this cohort . Multi-institutional collaborations to track outcomes of matched therapy would help determine the utility of therapies in rare cancers and unusual alterations.

Newly diagnosed follicular lymphoma during pembrolizumab treatment for lung cancer. (PubMed, Int J Hematol)

Malignant lymphoma developing during anti-PD-1 antibody treatment is extremely rare. Relapsed FL was diagnosed by submandibular gland biopsy four months after restarting PEM and she achieved a second CMR after rituximab-containing chemotherapy. We describe the first case of newly diagnosed FL during PEM treatment.
