Abstract
Classic Hodgkin lymphoma, nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma, and T cell/histiocyte-rich large B cell lymphoma form a unique set of lymphomas with similar morphologic growth patterns (occasional neoplastic cells within a prominent cellular cell background) that are pathobiologically related. Distinguishing these entities has been historically difficult by flow cytometry; however, our laboratory has developed antibody-fluorochrome combinations capable of immunophenotyping these lymphomas. Additionally, characterization of the background reactive lymphocytes can aid in narrowing the differential diagnosis. This review summarizes the immunophenotypic features and insights of the neoplastic and reactive populations found in this unique group of lymphomas.

Abstract
Recent studies demonstrated that MYC epigenetically regulates AML cell survival and differentiation by suppressing IDH1/2-TET2-5hmC signaling and that MYC overexpression is associated with poor survival outcomes in multiple AML patient cohorts. However, the oncogenic roles of MYC in MDS remain to be explored. A total of 41 patients with de novo MDS were retrospectively identified using the Total Cancer Care database at the Moffitt Cancer Center. A total of 61 % of patients had low MYC expression and 39 % of patients had high MYC expression defined as MYC reactivity by immunohistochemical staining in ≥5% of bone marrow (BM) cells at the time of MDS diagnosis. The median MDS-to-AML progression free survival (PFS) was significantly shorter in the high MYC group (median PFS 9.3 vs. 17.7 months, HR = 2.328, p = 0.013). Further, overall survival (OS) was also shorter in the high MYC patients (median OS 19.7 vs. 51.7 months, HR = 2.299, p = 0.053). Multivariate analyses demonstrated that high MYC expression is an independent poor prognostic factor for the MDS-to-AML progression (HR = 2.275, p = 0.046). Our observations indicate that MYC may play a crucial role in MDS transformation to AML and the underlying mechanisms of MYC-driven MDS clonal expansion and leukemic transformation require further investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the clinical significance of SF3B1/DNMT3A Comutations with SF3B1 or DNMT3A mutation alone in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS). METHODS We identified and compared 31 patients with only DNMT3A mutation, 48 patients with only SF3B1 mutation, and 16 patients with only SF3B1/DNMT3A comutations. RESULTS SF3B1/DNMT3A comutations were found to be more common in MDS, whereas DNMT3A mutation alone was more common in CCUS. The patients with SF3B1/DNMT3A comutations were less likely to have poor cytogenetics than patients with DNMT3A mutation alone. Patients with SF3B1/DNMT3A comutations showed significantly longer median survival time and better overall survival than patients with DNMT3A mutation alone. CONCLUSIONS Patients with SF3B1/DNMT3A comutations appear to have better clinical outcomes than patients with isolated DNMT3A mutation. These findings suggest that the favorable prognosis of SF3B1 mutation in is not abrogated by the concurrent presence of a DNMT3A mutation.
