Abstract
INTRODUCTION Most primary stomach lymphomas are now recognized to originate from B-cell. Primary gastric anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-negative anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) as shown in this case is very rare. CASE REPORT A 59-year-old man presented with a 1-month history of epigastric pain. Computed tomography showed a tumor in the stomach with perigastric lymphadenopathy. Biopsy of the tumor with gastroendoscopy showed ALCL. Bone marrow aspiration and trephine biopsy showed no infiltration. A diagnosis of primary gastric ALK-negative ALCL was made. The patient was first treated with four cycles of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone (CHOP) regimen, but his condition did not show improvement. Then he was treated with two cycles of hyperfractionated cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and dexamethasone/methotrexate and cytarabine (Hyper-CVAD/MA) regimen. In spite of these treatments, he still died of disease progression. CONCLUSION The prognosis of ALK-negative ALCLs is usually worse than ALK-positive ALCLs. In this case, the patient was not responsive to a multidrug chemotherapy with CHOP and Hyper-CVAD/MA.

Abstract
Here, we report an unusual case of gastric anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), lymphohistiocytic variant, in a 70-year-old female patient who presented with epigastric pain, tarry stool and body weight loss. Endoscopic and imaging findings revealed a Bormann type II tumor in the stomach with perigastric lymphadenopathy and multiple tumor nodules in the liver. Total gastrectomy and liver biopsy were performed. Histologically, both gastric and hepatic tumors demonstrated anaplastic large neoplastic cells scattered among numerous reactive histiocytes. Immunostaining of these tumor cells reacted positively for CD30, CD3, CD45 RO/UCHL1, and negatively for epithelial membrane antigen, CD68, lysozyme, CD15, CD79a, CD138, PAX5 and anaplastic lymphoma kinase. Both the morphologic and immunophenotypic findings supported the diagnosis of gastric ALCL of lymphohistiocytic variant with liver metastasis. This patient then received chemotherapy and was still alive after 17 months of follow-up, without evidence of residual disease.

Abstract
Gastric CD30-positive anaplastic large-cell lymphoma is a very rare disease. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish it from undifferentiated carcinoma, sarcoma and so on. We report here on a case of primary gastric anaplastic large-cell lymphoma. A 50-yr-old woman complained of epigastric pain and severe chest pain for 1 week. The gastroendoscopic examination revealed geographic mucosal irregularities with shallow ulceration at the antrum. She underwent a total gastrectomy. The gross finding of the resected stomach was an 8 x 4.5 cm sized ulceroinfiltrative lesion at the pyloric antrum along the lesser curvature. The microscopic examination revealed diffuse and solid proliferations of large atypical cells with pleomorphic nuclei. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for CD30, vimentin and CD3, and this was a finding compatible with anaplastic large-cell lymphoma. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such reported case in Korea.

Abstract
Anaplastic large cell lymphomas (ALCL) are characterised by the presence of CD30-positive large cells, which usually are of T-cell type. Based on the presence or absence of translocations involving the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) locus, ALCL cases can be divided into two groups. To gain more insight in the biology of ALCL, we applied serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) on the Karpas299 cell line and identified 25 up- and 19 downregulated genes. Comparison of the differentially expressed genes with DNA copy number changes in Karpas299 revealed that two overexpressed genes, S100A10 and S100A11, were located in an amplicon suggesting that the increased mRNA levels were caused by DNA amplification. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction on 5 ALCL cell lines and 12 ALCL tissues confirmed the SAGE data for 13 out of 14 up- and one out of four downregulated genes. Immunohistochemical staining confirmed the presence of S100A10, a calcium-binding protein, in three out of five ALK+ and all 7 ALK- ALCL cases. S100A11 staining was confirmed in all ALK+ and six of seven ALK- ALCL cases. Three of the upregulated genes represented calcium-binding proteins, which suggest that altered intracellular signaling might be associated with the oncogenesis of ALCL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the histologic characteristics of epithelial dysplasias of the oral mucosa is droplet-shaped rete processes resulting from a solid proliferation of basaloid cells. These basaloid cells are suddenly changed into an overlay of parakeratotic cells. However, it is unknown how this characteristic two-phase appearance is generated. METHODS Formalin-fixed paraffin sections of the oral mucosal specimens with normal, hyperplastic, dysplastic epithelia and squamous cell carcinomas were examined for apoptosis by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) method and for lymphoid cells by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Apoptotic cells were only located in the keratinized layer of normal/hyperplastic epithelia. However, in epithelial dysplasias, apoptotic cells were scattered in the middle or even in the lower parts of the epithelial layer with frequent vacuolation changes of epithelial cells. Within the epithelial layer of dysplasias, there were increased number of lymphocytes, which were immunopositive for CD45RO, CD8, and CD57- and CD68-immunopositive (+), S-100 protein-positive and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II-positive monocytic lineages. They increased in number with the severity of dysplastic degrees, and they were often located in the vicinity of apoptotic epithelial cells, but decreased in carcinomas in situ and invasive carcinomas, which contained fewer numbers of apoptotic figures. CONCLUSION The findings indicate that intraepithelial infiltrations of both cytotoxic T cells and natural killer cells are closely related to the apoptotic phenomena of prickle cells, which may result in the characteristic 'two-phase appearance' of epithelial dysplasia.

Abstract
Most primary gastric lymphomas are of B-cell origin. Fourteen cases of primary gastric non-B, non-Hodgkin lymphomas were studied to evaluate their clinicopathological and immunophenotypic findings. The cases were comprised of 11 men and three women, with a median age of 56.5 years. Most patients underwent surgery either with or without chemotherapy, exhibiting a 5 year survival rate of 57.5%. Morphologically, the neoplastic cells showed various histological features, such as anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) (n = 3), peripheral T-cell lymphoma, unspecified, large (n = 4), medium-sized (n = 2) and mixed cell (n = 5). Two cases displayed a non-B, non-T cell phenotype, whereas the remaining cases displayed a T-cell phenotype. Six cases were CD4+, while two were CD8+. The neoplastic cells were CD30+ in 10 cases. TIA-1 was positive in six cases. In one case, anaplastic large cell lymphoma kinase (ALK) was identified with immunostaining and chromosomal rearrangement of ALK was detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). In conclusion, although the mechanism of CD30 expression is unknown, primary gastric non-B, non-Hodgkin lymphomas tend to express CD30. We consider that some of the cases in the present study may be derived from cytotoxic T cells, similar to systemic and cutaneous ALCL, the majority of which exhibit TIA-1.

Abstract
AIMS Most primary gastrointestinal lymphomas are of B-cell origin and T-cell origin is very rare. Recent studies have suggested that human T-cell lymphotrophic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) may be involved in the development of primary gastric T-cell lymphoma. We analysed 31 patients with primary gastric T-cell lymphoma in south-west Japan, an area endemic for HTLV-1, and determined their phenotypes, genotypes, and HTLV-1 status. METHODS AND RESULTS Here we present 31 cases of primary gastric T-cell lymphoma in a HTLV-1-endemic area in Japan and analyse the clinical status, histology, phenotype and virus status. The median age at onset of primary gastric T-cell lymphoma was 57 years with a gender ratio of M:F = 1.58:1. Six of the 31 primary gastric T-cell lymphoma cases had HTLV-1 proviral DNA (five males, one female), nine of the 31 cases were positive for anti-adult T cell leukaemia antibody, without examination of HTLV-1 proviral DNA (five males, four females), eight were non-HTLV-1-associated primary gastric T-cell lymphoma (four males, four females) and the other eight cases were unknown. Primary gastric T-cell lymphoma usually presented as a large ulcerated tumour at the corpus to the antrum and histologically consisted of anaplastic large cell type (n = 2), pleomorphic large cell type (n = 3), pleomorphic medium and large cell type (n = 14), pleomorphic medium cell type (n = 11), and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma type (n = 1). There were no clear macroscopic and microscopic differences between HTLV-1-associated and non-HTLV-1-associated primary gastric T-cell lymphoma. Most patients died within 2 years of diagnosis, and both types of primary gastric T-cell lymphoma (with and without HTLV-1) were associated with poor prognosis. Cytotoxic marker analysis showed that HTLV-1-associated lymphomas were negative for TIA-1, while non-HTLV-1-associated lymphomas were positive for TIA-1. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that in HTLV-1-endemic areas, patients with HTLV-1-associated primary gastric T-cell lymphoma should be managed carefully and that TIA-1 seems to be useful for identifying the aetiology of this lesion.

Abstract
In this study, we used subtractive suppression hybridization to compare gene expression between an ALK-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL)-derived cell line and a clinical case of ALK-negative ALCL. Construction and screening of a subtracted library resulted in the cloning of 29 cDNAs which were differentially expressed. Most of these clones corresponded to novel genes with unknown function (EST) or to genes implicated in the differentiation, activation or signalling of T cells such as Ran/TC4, interleukin 1-receptor, thymosin beta4, thymosin beta10, moesin and cytohesin-1. Other genes involved in the regulation of apoptosis, such as human inhibitor of apoptosis-1 (HIAP-1), Bax inhibitor-1 and MCL-1, or DNA repair, such as poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1), X-associated protein-1 (XAP-1), SUMO-1 (sentrin-1) and RanGTPase-activating protein 1 (RanGAP-1), were isolated. Interestingly, we found that both RNA and protein levels of human sterol isomerase (hSI), also referred to as emopamil binding protein (EBP), were overexpressed in ALK+ tumours. This protein is involved in the biosynthesis of cholesterol and may be activated by NPM-ALK. Overall, our results suggest that all the genes described above are upregulated in the NPM-ALK-driven transformation process, and that moesin and cytohesin-1 may be more specifically implicated in a signalling pathway involving PLCgamma and PI3K.
