Cytogenetics/FISH Studies IRF4 gene rearrangement detected in 68% of the cells (100 cells analyzed) The findings are supportive of DUSP22-IRF4 (6p25.3) gene rearrangement
Final Diagnosis Right Submandibular Lymph Node, Excision Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL), ALK- Negative, with DUSP22-rearrangement
Genetic Alterations in ALK-Negative ALCL Parrilla Castellar ER, et al. Blood 2014 Aug28; 124(9): 1473-80 22/73 (30% of cases) harbor DUSP22 (6p25.3) rearrangements 6/73 (8% of cases) harbor TP63 (3q28) rearrangements Mutually exclusive gene rearrangements Not found in ALK-Positive ALCL cases DUSP22 rearrangements in T cell lymphoma first described in 2011 (Feldman AL, et al. Blood 2011 Jan 20;117(3):915-9) TP63 rearrangements in T cell lymphoma first described in 2012 (Vasmatzis G, et al. Blood 2012 Sep 13; 120(11):2280-9)
Doughnut cell in DUSP22-rearranged ALCL King RL, et al. Am J Surg Pathol 2016 Jan;40(1):36-43. DUSP22-rearranged ALCL are: More likely to exhibit Doughnut cell morphology Less likely to have pleomorphic cell More likely to have sheet-like growth Less likely to have admixed granulocytes or eosinophils
Cytotoxic Markers in DUSP22-Rearranged ALCL DUSP22-Rearranged ALCL are more likely to lack TIA1 and Granzyme B expression Parrilla Castellar ER, et al. Blood 2014 Aug 28;124(9):1473-80.
Survival Differences among ALCL subgroups Parrilla Castellar ER, et al. Blood 2014 Aug 28;124(9):1473-80.

Screening for DUSP22- and TP63-Rearranged ALCL DUSP22-Rearranged ALCL Characteristic morphology ( Doughnut cell, sheet-like growth pattern) Tend to lack TIA1 and Granzyme B expression by IHC FISH for DUSP22-IRF4 (6p25.3) TP63-Rearranged ALCL Overexpression of p63 by IHC FISH for TP63 (3q28) RNA sequencing for fusion detection
Back to our Case - Molecular Findings Hybridization-capture based assay, targeting 400 genes, sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq2500 instrument Patient s Nail DNA was used as Matched Normal control to filter out germline variants. Mean Overall Coverage: 1089X Variants detected: 1. CARD11 (NM_032415) exon5 p.k215del (c.645_647delgaa) (136/1523 reads, VAF=0.09) 2. CARD11 (NM_032415) exon6 p.k254n (c.762g>t) (90/1209 reads, VAF=0.07) 3. GRIN2A (NM_001134407) exon13 p.f1135c (c.3404t>g) (304/1426 reads, VAF=0.21) 4. PIK3R1 (NM_181523) exon15 splicing variant p.x662_splice (c.1985+2t>c) (138/638 reads, VAF=0.22) Lenz G, et al. Science 2008 Mar 21;319(5870): 1676-9.
CARD11 is linked to both B- and T-cell receptor Signaling NF-κB Pathway Activation Turvey SE, et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2014 Aug; 134(2): 276-84.
Case Follow-up Diagnosed with Stage III disease (>1 extranodal site), IPI score of 1 Bone marrow: No evidence of lymphoma involvement Underwent CHOEP X 4 cycles Complete Response (CR) by PET/CT Patient was offered consolidation therapy with autologous stem cell transplant. However, since DUSP22-rearranged ALK-Negative ALCL has better prognosis than other ALK-Negative ALCL cases, the patient decided that he would hold off undergoing marrow transplant.
Final Panel Diagnosis Right Submandibular Lymph Node, Excision Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL), ALK- Negative, with DUSP22-rearrangement
