Nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma
Diagnosis in short

Popcorn cell in nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma
LM Popcorn cells (relatively) small (compared to classic RSCs) - have lobulated nucleus (key feature), small nucleoli; subtle nodularity at low power
Subtypes none
LM DDx

diffuse large B cell lymphoma (esp. T-cell/histiocytic-rich LBCL), anaplastic large cell lymphoma,

B-cell lymphoma, unclassifiable, with features intermediate between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and classical Hodgkin lymphoma, classical Hodgkin lymphoma
IHC LCA (CD45) +ve, CD20 +ve, CD10 +ve, Bcl-6 +ve, EMA +ve, CD30 -ve, CD15 -ve
Site usu. lymph node
Signs lymphadenopathy
Prevalence uncommon
Prognosis good
  • AKA lympho-histiocytic variant.
  • Abbreviated NLPHL.
  • Different IHC and morphologic appearance than classic HL.
  • Significant risk for transformation into diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL); 10-year cumulative transformation rate (to DLBCL) in one study was 12%.[1]

Microscopy

Features (nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin's lymphoma):

  • Popcorn cell (previously known as Lymphocytic & histiocytic cell (L&H cell)[2]) - variant of RSC:
    • Cells (relatively) small (compared to classic RSCs).
    • Lobulated nucleus - key feature.
    • Small nucleoli.
  • Subtle nodularity at low power (2.5x or 5x objective).

IHC

Abbreviated panel:[3]

  • CD30 Reed-Sternberg cells (RSCs) +ve ~98%
  • CD15 Reed-Sternberg cells +ve ~80%, stains neutrophils.
  • CD45 often negative in RSCs.
  • CD20 may stain RSCs.
  • PAX5 +ve.[4]

Additional - for completeness:

  • CD3 (T lymphocytes)

NLPHL IHC differs from the classical HL:[4]

  • LCA +ve.
  • CD20 +ve.
  • CD10 +ve.
  • Bcl-6 +ve.
  • EMA +ve.
  • CD30 -ve
  • CD15 -ve.

A panel

Antibody NLPHL CHL
CD45 +ve -ve
CD20 +ve -ve
BCL6
MUM1[5] -ve
CD30 -ve +ve (most sensitive).
CD15 -ve +ve
CD21 networks present no networks
CD23 networks present no networks
OCT-2 +ve -ve
PAX5 +ve +ve (proves B cell linage)
CD3 usu. < benign B cell usu. > benign B cell component
CD57 rosettes around malign. cells -
EBER -ve +ve/-ve
EMA +ve/-ve -ve
4 unstained
