    Abstract Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma is a neoplasm of NK cells or cytotoxic T cells presenting in extranodal sites, most often in the nasal cavity. The typical immunophenotypes are cCD3+, sCD3-, CD4-, CD5-, CD8-, CD16-, and CD56+ with the expression of cytotoxic molecules. Tumor subsets express NK cell receptors, CD95/CD95L, CD30, MYC, and PDL1. Virtually all the tumor cells harbor the EBV genome, which plays a key role in lymphomagenesis as an epigenetic driver. EBV-encoded oncoproteins modulate the host-cell epigenetic machinery, reprogramming the viral and host epigenomes using host epigenetic modifiers. NGS analysis revealed the mutational landscape of ENKTL, predominantly involving the JAK-STAT pathway, epigenetic modifications, the RNA helicase family, the RAS/MAP kinase pathway, and tumor suppressors, which indicate an important role of these pathways and this group of genes in the lymphomagenesis of ENKTL. Recently, three molecular subtypes were proposed, the tumor-suppressor/immune-modulator (TSIM), MGA-BRDT (MB), and HDAC9-EP300-ARID1A (HEA) subtypes, and they are well-correlated with the cell of origin, EBV pattern, genomic alterations, and clinical outcomes. A future investigation into the function and interaction of discovered genes would be very helpful for better understanding the molecular pathogenesis of ENKTL and establishing better treatment strategies.

    Abstract SLAMF1 is often overexpressed in Epstein Barr virus (EBV)-infected B cell tumors. However, its role in the pathogenesis of EBV-infected B cell tumors remains largely unknown. Here, we generated SLAMF1-deficient EBV+ tumor cells and examined the effect of its deficiency on cell proliferation and cell survival. There were no significant differences in cell proliferation and cell cycle distribution for short periods between the SLAMF1-deficient and wild-type cells. However, the deficient cells were more resistant to an AKT inhibitor (MK-2206). When the both cells were co-cultured and repeatedly exposed to the limitations in nutrition and growth factors, the SLAMF1-deficient cells were gradually decreased. We observed that levels of phospho-AKT were differentially regulated according to the nutritional status between the SLAMF1-deficient and wild-type cells. A decrease in phospho-AKT was observed in SLAMF1-deficient cells as well as an increase in pro-apoptotic Bim just before cell passage, which may have been due to the loss of SLAMF1 under poor growth condition. Overall, SLAMF1 is not a strong survival factor, but it seems to be necessary for cell survival in unfavorable growth condition.

    Abstract Background: Recurrence in pleomorphic adenoma (PA) has been debated as a risk factor for malignant transformation (MT). In this study, we investigated whether recurrence is a risk factor for MT, by longitudinally analyzing cases with recurrent PA (RPA), and carcinomas from PA (CXPA) or RPA (CXRPA). Methods: The study population included 24 CXPA, 24 RPA, 6 CXRPA, and 386 PA cases (study period 2010−2018). Time and event data were collected from the medical documents to identify the time−event sequences. Results: The time interval to MT in CXRPA was significant longer than that of benign recurrence (median 342.0 vs. 109.5 months). In CXRPA, the recurrence intervals were not shorter than those in RPA according to recurrence frequency. Crudely, the MT rate was 5.9% among primary cases and 20.0% among recurrent cases. However, the time-adjusted MT rates increased up to 11.4% (incubation time > 60 months) and 20.0% (>120 months) in primary cases, which were not different from recurrent cases. Conclusion: In these longitudinal analyses, we did not find any clinical evidence that recurrence facilitates MT in the background of PA. Instead, a long incubation time seems to be a key factor for MT of underlying RPA.

    Abstract The CD47/SIRPα pathway is an emerging immune checkpoint that is a new therapeutic target. We investigated CD47 expression in DLBCL of various subtypes and organs. Moreover, the relationship between CD47 expression and genetic alterations was analyzed using panel-based massively parallel sequencing (NGS). CD8, CD68, and CD47 immunohistochemical staining were performed on 238 DLBCL patients. CD47 was scored according to intensity on a 5-level scale, and CD8 and CD68 were quantitatively evaluated using QuPath software. Panel based NGS was performed in 37 patients. In CD8 and CD68 quantitative analyses by organs, intestinal DLBCL showed significantly lower cytotoxic T-cell infiltration than that in others (P<0.001). The CD47-high group comprised 24 of 58 (41.4%) in DLBCL from intestine and 15 of 180 (8.3%) in DLBCL from other organs (P<0.001). The 18q21 gain/amplification was found in 10 of 37 patients, and all of them were CD47-high. Intestinal CD47-high DLBCL occurred in terminal ileum to ascending colon, and was restricted to non-germinal center B-cell type. In the survival analyses, the prognosis of non-intestinal CD47-high DLBCL was poorer than that of intestinal CD47-high DLBCL (P=0.025). CD47-high DLBCL was closely associated with 18q21 gain/amplification and showed a high prevalence in intestine. We propose to classify CD47-high DLBCL into intestinal and non-intestinal type. Further studies are necessary to assess whether the constellation of features seen here is reproducible and sufficient to consider primary intestinal DLBCL as a distinct biological entity.

    Abstract How Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) affects the clinical outcome of EBV-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) remains largely unknown. The viral oncogene LMP1 is at the crux of tumorigenesis and cell survival. Therefore, we examined the association between LMP1high cells drug resistance. We first assessed SLAMF1 as a surrogate marker for LMP1high cells. LMP1 and its target gene CCL22 were highly expressed in SLAMF1high Farage cells. These cells survived longer following treatment with a combination of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone (CHOP). Genes associated with interferon-alpha, allograft rejection, NF-κB and STAT3 were also overexpressed in the surviving Farage cells. Specifically, CHOP treatment increased IL10, LMP1 and pSTAT3 expression levels in a dose-dependent fashion. Addition of exogenous IL4 greatly increased the levels of LMP1 and pSTAT3, which rendered the Farage cells more resistant to CHOP by up-regulating the anti-apoptotic genes BCL-XL and MCL1. The Farage cells were sensitive to Velcade and STAT3, 5, and 6 inhibitors. Inhibition of NF-κB and STAT3, in combination with CHOP, decreased LMP1 levels and effectively induced cell death in the Farage cells. We suggest that LMP1high cells are responsible for the poor drug response of EBV+ DLBCL and that perturbation of the NF-κB and STAT signaling pathways increases toxicity in these cells.

    Abstract Background: While treatment strategies for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) have evolved, patients often experience disease progression and require additional treatment therapies. Ibrutinib presents a promising option for relapsed or refractory MCL (RR-MCL). This study investigated real-world treatment outcomes of ibrutinib in patients with RR-MCL.
    Methods: A single-center retrospective analysis investigated clinical characteristics and survival outcomes of patients with RR-MCL, treated with ibrutinib.
    Results: Forty-two patients were included, with 16 received rituximab and bendamustine, and 26 receiving anthracycline-based regimens as front-line treatment. During a median follow-up of 46.0 months, the response rate to ibrutinib was 69%, with 12 CRs and 8 partial responses. Disease progression (54.8%) and adverse events (11.9%) were the primary reasons for discontinuation. Median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were approximately 16.4 and 50.1 months, respectively. Patients older than 70 years (
    Conclusion: This study underscores the importance of considering patient characteristics before administering ibrutinib as salvage therapy. Early relapse was associated with poor outcomes, highlighting the need for novel therapeutic strategies.

    Abstract Background: Primary testicular lymphoma is a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, mostly of the diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Although a consensus on standard treatment has been established, unresolved issues remain, such as recurrence in the central nervous system (CNS).
    Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics and survival outcomes of 65 testicular DLBCL patients according to clinical settings and treatment modalities.
    Results: The median age of the patients in our study was 65 years, and two-thirds of them had disease limited to one testis. There was no right or left lateralization of testicular involvement. Over a median follow-up of 53.9 months (95% confidence interval 34.0-73.7 months), patients with stage I disease and a low international prognostic index score showed better survival outcomes than those in other categories. Orchiectomy, six cycles of chemotherapy, and radiation therapy (RT) to the contralateral testis demonstrated survival benefits, whereas CNS prophylaxis therapy did not reduce CNS recurrence. During the follow-up period, the survival curves showed continuous decline, mostly due to disease progression. CNS recurrence was observed in 15% of patients, and parenchymal involvement was dominant. However, no factors were associated with CNS recurrence in our analyses. Although our molecular analyses were performed in a small number of patients,
    Conclusion: In our study, treatment with orchiectomy, six cycles of immunochemotherapy, and contralateral RT was effective. However, because CNS prophylaxis is an essential part of testicular DLBCL management, better treatment strategies than intrathecal therapy are required.

    Abstract Primary gastric follicular lymphomas (FLs) have been rarely reported, and little is known about their characteristics. In the present study, we report 5 cases of primary gastric FL and describe their clinicopathological and molecular genetic features. A total of 7 samples from 5 patients were investigated for clinicopathological characteristics and somatic mutations by the targeted sequencing of 50 lymphoma-related genes. Two cases were identified as slightly elevated submucosal tumors and 3 cases as polypoid tumors. Histologically, all cases were low-grade FLs. The immunoprofile was CD20

    Abstract Background: Chronic active EBV infection (CAEBV) of T-cell or NK-cell type is an EBV+ polyclonal, oligoclonal or often monoclonal lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) recognized as representing the spectrum of EBV-associated T-cell and NK-cell LPD with different clinical presentations; one systemic and two cutaneous disorders including hydroa vacciniforme-like T-cell LPD and mosquito bite hypersensitivity. The systemic form of the disease is characterized by fever, persistent hepatitis, hepatosplenomegaly and lymphadenopathy, which shows varying degrees of clinical severity depending on the immune response of the host and the EBV viral load.
    Case reports: We described the clinicopathological findings of two children with CAEBV with a brief review of the literature.
    Conclusions: Recognition of the disease is important for adequate management of the patient. EBV analysis should be included in the principal diagnostic tests for febrile children.
