MYC and BCL2 immunohistochemical overexpression as surrogate markers for C-MYC and BCL2 alterations by FISH. Perry et al. B-cell lymphoma, unclassifiable, with features intermediate between diffuse large B- cell lymphoma and burkitt lymphoma: study of 39 cases. 79% cases strongly expressed BCL2 (44% had BCL2 rearrangements) Of 13 cases with BCL2 rearrangements 12 (92% expressed BCL2 protein) The median expression of C-MYC protein was 50% of the cells and, of the cases with MYC rearrangement. 69% had MYC protein expression in 50% of the cells. Copy number gains of MYC was associated with variable levels of MYC protein expression (10, 40, 80%). Hu et al. MYC/BCL2 protein co-expression is associated with high-risk gene signatures and contributes to the inferior prognosis of activated B-cell subtype of DLBCL.

N 700 (404 BCL2, 308 MYC) Rearrangement of the BCL2 gene was significantly associated with BCL2 protein expression (58/72 cases positive by IHQ, 81%, p<0.0001), 101/272 (37%) positive by IHQ were negative by FISH. Gain/amplification of BCL2 gene was also associated with BCL2 protein overexpression (73% p =00001). Rearrangement of the MYC gene was significantñy associated with MYC ptotein expression (27/31, 87%, p=0.0087). 175/274 (64%) positive by IHQ were negative by FISH. DLBCL with MYC/BCL2 co-expression had a higher frequency of MYC/BCL2 rearrangements (6% vs 0,4%, p= 0.0016) Problem with BCL2 mutated cases?. 124 clone vs E17 clone vs SP66 clone. Perry et al.

Median age : 69 years Advanced stage disease (62%), high (3-5) International Prognostic Index Score (54%). Median OS was 9 months and 5 year OS was 30%. Genetic heterogeneity : double hit lymphomas, 11 cases (MYC&BCL2 8 cases, MYC&BCL6, 3 cases). MYC only, 6 cases (5 IGH-MYC, 1 MYC-IGL), BCL2 only (5 cases), BCL6 only (1 case). No abnormalities detected (7 cases). 5 cases with copy number changes without translocations. None of the immunohistochemical (Ki67, GCB phenotype 74%) nor genetic features was predictive of survival. Patients with low IPI scores (0-2) had a better survival than those with high scores (3-5).

SUMMARY B cell lymphoma, unclassifiable with features intermediate between DLBCL and BL is a provisional category that comprises a heterogeneous group of neoplasms that do not fit in classical BL or conventional DLBCL categories. Allows for the classification of atypical cases (i.e BL-like in adults). Morphological features is the basis for the diagnosis and allows for the recognition of these tumours (WHO). Genetic and phenotypic diversity. Uniform DLBCL morphology excludes the diagnosis irrespective of the results of the IHC and molecular tests. Double hit agressive B cell lymphomas by FISH. Heterogeneous morphological features. IHQ scoring for C-MYC and BCL2 expression as an adequate surrogate for the screening of FISH abnormalities. It is recomended to incorporate FISH to confirm the suspected double hit cases in cases with overexpression of MYC and BCL2. FISH (BA): C-MYC, BCL2, BCL6 (+/-IGH). DLBCL with MYC and BCL2 coexpression. Particular gene expression signature GCB-ABC independent. Patients with poor prognosis when treated with RCHOP. B cell lymphoma, unclassifiable with features intermediate between DLBCL and BL, more common in adults with high risk clinical features and poor prognosis with conventional therapies including RCHOP. Patients require a personalized therapeutic approach based on clinical risk factors. Swerdlow et al WHO (2008), AM Perry et al, BJH 2013..
