26 Burkitt Lymphoma

27 Burkitt Lymphoma t8;14 positive medium size B-cell lymphoma, with Ki67>90% Frequent extranodal presentation, intestinal, ovarian,. 2 nd decade, bit can be seen at any age Characteristic morphological features, starry-sky, medium-size cytology,. CD20+ CD10+ Tdt- Most cases are BCL2-, but some may be positive EBV+ in endemic forms, HIV and immunodeficiency Other C-MYC translocations: peculiar features

36 MYC

37 C-MYC translocation t8;14 involving IGH and C-MYC is typical for Burkitt, classical Can be seen in other B-cell lymphomas, such as DLBCL Aggressive forms of FL, CLL, MCL, CLL In classical BL usually this is the only translocation Is usually associated with increased C-MYC expression detectable by IHC But, the opposite is not always true Translocations involving IGK or IGL and C-MYC are more typical for Intermediate BL/DLBCL forms Cases lacking t8;14 are more probably intermediate BL/DLBCL

38

39 WHO 4 th Edition Clinical Advisory Committee (2007) Many cases, especially in adults, cannot be definitively classified as abl vs DLBCL Should not contaminate the categories of BL and DLBCL with these cases, which may be biologically and clinically different Provisional category: High-grade B-cell lymphoma, unclassifiable, intermediate between BL and DLBCL A heterogeneous category that needs to be further refined; not a distinct entity Allows classification of cases not meeting criteria for classical BL or DLBCL.

40 B-Cell Lymphoma, Unclassifiable, with Features Intermediate Between DLBCL and BL Highly proliferative lymphomas with morphological and phenotypic features between Burkitt and DLBCL Increased genomic complexity Adult cases are clinically aggressive at least three subgroups: Double hit involving c-myc and bcl2 (some of them may represent progressed FL or transformed DLBCL) Childhood DLBCL cases with MYC translocation BL cases lacking C-MYC translocation

47 B lymphoblastic Leukemia/Lymphoma Neoplasm of lymphoblasts committed to B-cell differentiation Clinical features: Most cases <20 yrs (75% <6 años), but can be seen at any age Rarely, pure tumoral forms (initial diagnosis or relapse), in skin, bone, lymph node

48 B lymphoblastic Leukemia/Lymphoma Leukemic (ALL) or tumoral (LL) presentations, but one single disease Arbitrarily, the therm lymphoma is used when Process is confined to a mass lesion, and BM blast count < 25% Corresponds to ALL L1 and L2 (FAB) Leukemic Burkitt (L3) is a different condition
