RETROPERITONEAL MASS, RIGHT, CORE BIOPSIES:
- NON-HODGKIN B-CELL LYMPHOMA, FAVOUR FOLLICULAR LYMPHOMA.
COMMENT:
Morphology:
-Small cells: size ~ mature lymphocytes, quantity - many, angular and round.
-Large cells (intermixed with small cells): size ~1.5-2x mature lymphocyte,
small nucleoli, moderate quantity of grey/basophilic cytoplasm, moderate
nuclear pleomorphism.
-Architecture: no gland formation, discohesive, no follicles apparent, no sheets
of large cells.
-Mitoses are uncommon.
Immunohistochemical stains (tumour cells):
Positive: CD45 (strong, membranous/cytoplasmic), CD20 (strong, membranous/cytoplasmic),
BCL-2 (strong, membranous/cytoplasmic), CD10 (strong, membranous), BCL-6 (moderate,
patchy, nuclear).
Negative: pankeratin, CD3, CD5, CD30, CD21 (follicular dendritic cells not apparent),
CD23 (scattered, rare).
Ki-67: highlights the large cells, primarily -- 5-35% of cells within the core.
The findings favour a follicular lymphoma, based on the cellular morphology and
immunostains; however, they are limited by the type of tissue sampling (core biopsy).
Clinical correlation is suggested.
