Abstract
Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) positive primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma (PCMZL) is uncommon and subsequent transformation is rare. METHODS We report a patient with EBV positive PCMZL with subsequent transformation to plasmablastic lymphoma and review the literature for transformed PCMZL to assess clinical and pathologic characteristics. In the case we describe, the patient presented with multifocal PCMZL, developed large B cell transformation with plasmacytic differentiation, followed by plasmablastic transformation (PBL), and ultimately died of disease progression despite multiple lines of therapy. Past history was significant for psoriatic arthritis (multiple prior lines of immunomodulatory therapy). The lymphomas and non-involved bone marrow share the same somatic DNMT3A and TET2 mutations, suggesting clonal relatedness and an association with clonal hematopoiesis (CH). RESULTS Eighteen cases complied the cohort (seventeen cases from the literature and the case reported herein). Nearly half of the eighteen cases of PCMZL with transformation died of progressive disease (44%). Transformed cases were more commonly seen in patients with >2 sites at initial diagnosis. EBV was assessed in 5 patients, 3 were positive (all died of disease). Two patients with NGS studies demonstrated TET2 and DNMT3A mutations. CONCLUSIONS Transformation of EBV positive PCMZL appears to be a poor prognostic indicator, with our reported case being the first well defined case transformed to PBL, suspected to arise from myeloid-CH.

Abstract
Therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN) are characterized by aggressive features and a dismal prognosis. Recent evidence suggests a higher incidence of t-MN in individuals harboring clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP). In order to gain insight into CHIP-driven malignant progression, we gathered data from ten published reports with available detailed patient characteristics at the time of primary malignancy and t-MN development. Detailed clinical and molecular information on primary malignancy and t-MN were available for 109 patients: 43% harbored at least one somatic mutation at the time of the primary malignancy. TET2 and TP53 mutations showed an increasing variant allele frequency from CHIP to t-MN. ASXL1-associated CHIP significantly correlated with the emergence of TET2 and CEBPA mutations at t-MN, as well as U2AF1-driven CHIP with EZH2 mutation and both IDH2 and SRSF2-driven CHIP with FLT3 mutation. DNMT3A-driven CHIP correlated with a lower incidence of TP53 mutation at t-MN. In contrast, TP53-driven CHIP correlated with a complex karyotype and a lower tendency to acquire new mutations at t-MN. Patients with multiple myeloma as their first malignancy presented a significantly higher rate of TP53 mutations at t-MN. The progression from CHIP to t-MN shows different scenarios depending on the genes involved. A deeper knowledge of CHIP progression mechanisms will allow a more reliable definition of t-MN risk.

Abstract
As the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma subtype, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) incidence patterns generally parallel that for NHL overall. Globally, DLBCL accounts for a third of all NHLs, ranging between 20% and 50% by country. Based on United States (U.S.) cancer registry data, age-standardized incidence rate for DLBCL was 7.2 per 100,000. DLBCL incidence rises with age and is generally higher in males than females; in the U.S., incidence is highest among non-Hispanic whites (9.2/100,000). Like NHL incidence, DLBCL incidence rose in the first half of the 20th century but has largely plateaued. However, there is some evidence that incidence rates are rising in areas of historically low rates, such as Asia; there are also estimates for rising DLBCL incidence in the near future due to the changing demographics in developed countries whose aging population is growing. Established risk factors for DLBCL include those that result in severe immune deficiency such as HIV/AIDS, inherited immunodeficiency syndromes, and organ transplant recipients. Factors that lead to chronic immune dysregulations are also established risk factors, and include a number of autoimmune conditions (eg, Sjögren syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis), viral infections (eg, HIV, KSHV/HHV8, HCV, EBV), and obesity. Family history of NHL/DLBCL, personal history of cancer, and multiple genetic susceptibility loci are also well-established risk factors for DLBCL. There is strong evidence for multiple environmental exposures in DLBCL etiology, including exposure to trichloroethylene, benzene, and pesticides and herbicides, with recent associations noted with glyphosate. There is also strong evidence for associations with other viruses, such as HBV. Recent estimates suggest that obesity accounts for nearly a quarter of DLBCLs that develop, but despite recent gains in the understanding of DLBCL etiology, the majority of disease remain unexplained. An understanding of the host and environmental contributions to disease etiology, and concerted efforts to expand our understanding to multiple race/ethnic groups, will be essential for constructing clinically relevant risk prediction models and develop effective strategies for disease prevention.

Abstract
Hematological toxicity is the most common adverse event after chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. Cytopenias can be profound and long-lasting and can predispose for severe infectious complications. In a recent worldwide survey, we demonstrated that there remains considerable heterogeneity in regard to current practice patterns. Here, we sought to build consensus on the grading and management of immune effector cell-associated hematotoxicity (ICAHT) after CAR T-cell therapy. For this purpose, a joint effort between the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) and the European Hematology Association (EHA) involved an international panel of 36 CAR T-cell experts who met in a series of virtual conferences, culminating in a 2-day meeting in Lille, France. On the basis of these deliberations, best practice recommendations were developed. For the grading of ICAHT, a classification system based on depth and duration of neutropenia was developed for early (day 0-30) and late (after day +30) cytopenia. Detailed recommendations on risk factors, available preinfusion scoring systems (eg, CAR-HEMATOTOX score), and diagnostic workup are provided. A further section focuses on identifying hemophagocytosis in the context of severe hematotoxicity. Finally, we review current evidence and provide consensus recommendations for the management of ICAHT, including growth factor support, anti-infectious prophylaxis, transfusions, autologous hematopoietic stem cell boost, and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. In conclusion, we propose ICAHT as a novel toxicity category after immune effector cell therapy, provide a framework for its grading, review literature on risk factors, and outline expert recommendations for the diagnostic workup and short- and long-term management.
