    Abstract T-lymphoblastic lymphoma is a high-grade malignant lymphoma with frequent occurrence in young males, mediastinal involvement, and systemic dissemination. Indolent T-lymphoblastic proliferations have rarely been recognized. In the present case, we report on an indolent T-lymphoblastic proliferation involving the oropharynx in a patient with myasthenia gravis with multiple local recurrences over an 11-year period without evidence of systemic dissemination. The T-lymphoblasts were consistently positive for terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), CD1, CD3, CD4, and CD8, corresponding to an intermediate thymocyte stage of differentiation. No cytokeratin-positive thymic epithelial cells were identified, ruling out an ectopic thymus or thymoma. T-receptor gene rearrangement studies by Southern blot revealed no monoclonal CT-beta rearrangement. Indolent T-lymphoblastic proliferations of undetermined clonality may rarely occur; predilection for involvement of oropharynx and possible association with myasthenia gravis are suggested.

    Abstract The presentation of a MALT lymphoma in the bladder is exceedingly rare. Furthermore, the optimal treatment of primary MALT confined to the bladder remains to be defined. Here, we report a case of a 65-year-old female with primary MALT lymphoma treated with definitive radiation therapy. The patient received a total dose of 30 Gy in 20 equal daily fractions to the bladder and tolerated the treatment well. In addition, we have extensively reviewed the relevant literature to better define the optimal management of this rare disease. In conclusion, primary MALT lymphoma of the bladder represents a rare malignancy with excellent prognosis if detected at an early stage. For early stage disease, definitive radiation represents an excellent treatment modality with a minimal side-effect profile.

    Abstract Background: Despite reducing pneumonia and other infections, antibody replacement does not appear to treat pulmonary lymphoid hyperplasia (PLH) in patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID). The pathogenesis and optimal treatments remain to be clarified.
    Objective: We aimed to better understand the pathology of CVID-associated lung disease. Tertiary lymphoneogenesis, although a component of interstitial lung disease associated with autoimmune diseases, has not previously been explored in patients with CVID.
    Methods: We examined the clinical characteristics and pathologic findings of 6 patients with CVID with nodular/infiltrative lung disease who had biopsy specimens demonstrating PLH.
    Results: In these subjects regions of PLH contained distinct B- and T-cell zones, with B-cell predominance in 1 patient and T-cell predominance in the others. Colocalization of Ki67, Bcl6, and CD23 within this ectopic lymphoid architecture demonstrated tertiary lymphoneogenesis with active centers of cellular proliferation. One patient received rituximab with improved pulmonary radiologic findings.
    Conclusion: Ectopic lymphoid tissue forming germinal centers suggest tertiary lymphoneogenesis in CVID-associated lung disease. B cell-targeted therapy might disrupt CVID-associated lymphoid hyperplasia.

    Abstract To study the possible cellular origin of recently recognized indolent terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-positive T-lymphoblastic proliferations of the tonsils and oropharynx, we studied normal human tonsils for the presence of TdT-positive cells. TdT-positive cells were readily demonstrated in the tonsils from 15 children and adults by immunohistochemical staining. TdT-positive cells were distributed in discrete foci at the periphery of lobules of lymphoid tissue and adjacent to fibrous septa and had the morphologic features of small to medium-sized lymphocytes. Double-antibody staining indicated the TdT-positive cells had the phenotype of uncommitted early lymphoid precursors (CD3-, CD79a-, CD10-). Foci of TdT-positive cells were not identified in 6 reactive lymph nodes studied as controls. These studies indicate that tonsils, like bone marrow and thymus, are sites of lymphopoiesis. The presence of TdT-positive precursor cells in human tonsils may be a factor in the pathogenesis of recently described indolent T-lymphoblastic proliferations involving the tonsils and oropharynx. The presence of TdT-positive cells in human tonsils should not be misinterpreted as evidence of lymphoblastic lymphoma or leukemia.

    Abstract The utility of immunohistochemical staining for leukocyte common antigen (LCA) in the differential diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease was studied in a series of 42 cases of Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and compared with Leu M-1, a proposed marker for Reed-Sternberg cells. LCA staining of neoplastic cells was absent in 23 of 24 cases of Hodgkin's disease but present in 16 of 18 cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma including eight of 10 cases with pleomorphic Reed-Sternberg-like cells. Leu M-1, in contrast was present in 14 of 24 cases of Hodgkin's disease, but also in five of 18 cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma including five of 10 cases with pleomorphic Reed-Sternberg-like cells. Immunohistochemical staining for LCA appears useful in the differential diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease and appears to be a better discriminant than Leu M-1.

    Abstract Interleukin 2 and its receptor have emerged as a central control system in the regulation of the immune response and the proliferation of T cells, B cells, and macrophage. IL-2 receptor expression is strongly associated with several forms of human lymphoproliferative disease including adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma, hairy cell leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, and peripheral T-cell lymphoma in which it may play a pathogenetic role. IL-2 receptor expression may also play a role in some B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and histiocytic proliferations. Recent discoveries in immunology and advances in biotechnology have opened therapeutic possibilities for IL-2 including the use of anti-Tac monoclonal antibodies and immunoconjugates for the therapy of Tac-positive lymphoproliferative disease, the use of anti-Tac monoclonal antibodies as novel immunosuppressants, and the use of genetically engineered recombinant IL-2 and activated autologous lymphocytes in the adoptive immunotherapy of cancer. Therapeutic and diagnostic applications of IL-2 continue to be defined.
