Abstract
Session 3 of the lymphoma workshop of the XXI joint meeting of the European Association for Haematopathology and the Society for Hematopathology took place in Florence, Italy, on September 22, 2022. The topics of this session were splenic and nodal marginal zone lymphomas, transformation in marginal zone lymphomas, and pediatric nodal marginal zone lymphomas and their differential diagnosis as well as related entities. Forty-two cases in these categories were submitted to the workshop, including splenic lymphomas (marginal zone and diffuse red pulp lymphomas), transformed marginal zone lymphomas (splenic and nodal), nodal marginal zone lymphomas with increased TFH-cells, and pediatric nodal marginal zone lymphomas. The case review highlighted some of the principal problems in the diagnosis of marginal zone lymphomas, including the difficulties in the distinction between splenic marginal zone lymphoma, splenic diffuse red pulp lymphoma, and hairy cell leukemia variant/splenic B-cell lymphoma with prominent nucleoli which requires integration of clinical features, immunophenotype, and morphology in blood, bone marrow, and spleen; cases of marginal zone lymphoma with markedly increased TFH-cells, simulating a T-cell lymphoma, where molecular studies (clonality and mutation detection) can help to establish the final diagnosis; the criteria for transformation of marginal zone lymphomas, which are still unclear and might require the integration of morphological and molecular data; the concept of an overlapping spectrum between pediatric nodal marginal zone lymphoma and pediatric-type follicular lymphoma; and the distinction between pediatric nodal marginal zone lymphoma and "atypical" marginal zone hyperplasia, where molecular studies are mandatory to correctly classify cases.

Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14225695. [PMID: 36428786 PMCID: PMC9688742 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14225695] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2022] [Revised: 11/04/2022] [Accepted: 11/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
The co-occurrence of several lymphomas in a patient defines composite/synchronous lymphoma. A common cellular origin has been reported for both contingents of such entities. In the present review, we aimed to gather the available data on composite lymphomas associating a classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) with another lymphoma, to better understand the plasticity of mature B and T-cells. This review highlights that >70% of patients with a composite lymphoma are ≥55 years old, with a male predominance. The most reported associations are cHL with follicular lymphoma or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, with over 130 cases reported. The cHL contingent is often of mixed cellularity type, with a more frequent focal/weak CD20 expression (30% to 55.6%) compared to de novo cHL, suggesting a particular pathophysiology. Moreover, Hodgkin cells may express specific markers of the associated lymphoma (e.g., BCL2/BCL6 for follicular lymphoma and Cyclin D1 for mantle cell lymphoma), sometimes combined with common BCL2/BCL6 or CCND1 rearrangements, respectively. In addition, both contingents may share similar IgH/IgK rearrangements and identical pathogenic variants, reinforcing the hypothesis of a common clonal origin. Finally, cHL appears to be endowed with a greater plasticity than previously thought, supporting a common clonal origin and a transdifferentiation process during lymphomagenesis of composite lymphomas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The coexistence of two or more types of lymphoma within the same organ at the same time of diagnosis is defined as composite lymphoma, a rare disease that has recently been identified in the literature. Pointedly, the concurrence may be Hodgkin lymphoma with a Non-Hodgkin lymphoma [NHL], either B or T cells, or two different entities of NHLs. Furthermore, this condition has been described concurrently or sequentially. In order for the diagnosis to be established, two or more distinct clones should be proven by morphological and laboratory tests. CASE PRESENTATION Herein, we cite a seventy-three-year old female patient with low-grade fever, waxing and waning cervical lymphadenopathy, whose biopsy of an axillary lymph node demonstrated the rare coexistence of Hodgkin and NHL, known as composite lymphoma. CONCLUSION Composite lymphomas pose a particular diagnostic challenge, and currently, there are no agreed standards for treatment.

Abstract
Reed-Sternberg cells (RSCs) are hallmarks of classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). However, cells with a similar morphology and immunophenotype, so-called Reed-Sternberg-like cells (RSLCs), are occasionally seen in both B cell and T cell non-Hodgkin Lymphomas (NHLs). In NHLs, RSLCs are usually present as scattered elements or in small clusters, and the typical background microenviroment of cHL is usually absent. Nevertheless, in NHLs, the phenotype of RSLCs is very similar to typical RSCs, staining positive for CD30 and EBV, and often for B cell lineage markers, and negative for CD45/LCA. Due to different therapeutic approaches and prognostication, it is mandatory to distinguish between cHL and NHLs. Herein, NHL types in which RSLCs can be detected along with clinicopathological correlation are described. Moreover, the main helpful clues in the differential diagnosis with cHL are summarized.

Abstract
Composite lymphoma is defined as the occurrence of two or more distinct lymphoma types in a single anatomic site. We report a case of Richter syndrome with both Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the bone marrow. This diagnostic was suspected because of discrepancies between histological and cytological results.

Abstract
Background Splenic hamartoma is a rare benign vascular proliferative lesion composed of unorganized sinusoid-like channels lined with plump or flat endothelial cells and characterized by a CD8-positive immunophenotype of the lining cells. Scattered bizarre stromal cells can be found in some splenic hamartomas. The presence of splenic hamartoma with bizarre stromal cells is extremely rare and these bizarre cells make it possible to be regarded as a malignancy. Recognition of this rare histologic variant will help to avoid diagnostic confusion and overtreatment of this benign entity. Case presentation We report a case of a 40-year-old man with occasional left-sided waist back pain. A splenic space-occupying lesion was detected by ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. Microscopically bizarre large cells were scattered throughout the splenic hamartoma. The cells exhibited atypical nuclei, scarcely visible cytoplasm, and vesicular chromatin, and they did not form expansile clusters and lacked mitotic activity. An immunohistochemical panel was performed. The bizarre cells strongly expressed vimentin, and the Ki-67 index was very low. The lesion was diagnosed as a splenic hamartoma with bizarre stromal cells. Conclusions To the best of our knowledge, this is the first systematic review on a splenic hamartoma with bizarre stromal cells; only six cases have been described in the literature. Proper identification is important to secure adequate treatment.

Abstract
We report a patient who developed up to three different lymphomas with the same clonal IGH rearrangement. She was first diagnosed of splenic zone marginal lymphoma and relapsed for the first time with Hodgkin lymphoma histology and later with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma histology. Subsequent biopsies and analysis of clonally rearranged IGH genes helped to elucidate the clonal relationship between the three histologies and to confirm a common origin from the three tissue histologies. An integrated diagnosis should always be performed in order to achieve the most accurate diagnosis and be able to choose the best therapeutic options for our patients.

Abstract
Vanishing bile duct syndrome (VBDS) in association with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is well described but not well understood. We report an unusual case of a 75-year-old patient presenting with biopsy-proven VBDS and immunodeficiency, without identifiable cause, which showed a waxing and waning course, culminating in the development of HL 18 months later. To our knowledge, this is the first adult case in which VBDS preceded the diagnosis of HL by such a long period.

Abstract
The combination of classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma (cHL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma coexisting in the same patient is not common, especially in one extranodal location. Here we present a rare case of composite diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and cHL occurring simultaneously in the stomach of a 53-year-old female who presented with upper abdominal discomfort and gas pain. Surgery was performed and the disease was diagnosed pathologically as composite lymphoma of DLBCL and cHL using hematoxylin-eosin and immunohistochemical staining. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection was not detected by in situ hybridization for EBV-encoded RNA or immunohistochemistry for EBV latent membrane protein-1. Polymerase chain reaction analysis from the two distinct components of the tumor demonstrated clonal immunoglobulin κ light chain gene rearrangements. The patient died approximately 11 mo after diagnosis in spite of receiving eight courses of the CHOP and two courses of the rituximab-CHOP (RCHOP) chemotherapy regimen. This case report showed that the two distinct components, DLBCL and cHL, appeared to originate from the same clonal progenitor cell, and that EBV infection was not essential for transformation during the course of tumorigenesis.

Abstract
This report describes a 60-year-old man with concurrent gastric extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) and classical Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL). Atypical, medium-sized, lymphoid cells proliferated in the mucosa to muscular layer of the stomach showing a lymphoepithelial lesion; admixed with Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells and an inflammatory cell background. MALT lymphoma cells expressed CD20, CD79a, PAX5, and BOB.1, and HRS cells expressed CD30, CD15, Epstein–Barr virus–encoded RNA, and EBV-latent membrane protein 1. Only CHL invaded into the regional lymph nodes. Two possibilities of transformation of MALT lymphoma into CHL and de novo CHL within MALT lymphoma are discussed.

Abstract
Composite lymphoma (CL) is a rare occurrence of 2 or more morphologically and immunophenotypically distinct lymphoma clones in a single anatomic site. A retrospective analysis of 1,722 solid tissue samples clinically suggestive of lymphoma was carried out in our institute during a 12-year period to evaluate the efficacy of flow cytometry (FC) in identifying CL. We report 17 CL cases. A strong correlation between morphologic findings and FC was observed in 13 cases (76%). In the 4 cases diagnosed as non-Hodgkin lymphoma plus Hodgkin lymphoma, although FC did not detect Reed-Sternberg cells, it accurately identified the neoplastic B- or T-cell component. In 3 cases, FC indicated the need to evaluate an additional neoplastic component that was not morphologically evident. Our data demonstrate that FC immunophenotyping of tissues may enhance the performance of the diagnostic morphologic evaluation of CL. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report in the literature of a wide series of CL studied also by FC.
