Category B-cell lymphoid proliferations and lymphomas
Family Mature B-cell neoplasms
Type Large B-cell lymphomas
Subtype(s) High-grade B-cell lymphoma, NOS

Definition / Description of Disease

High-Grade B-cell Lymphoma, Not Otherwise Specified (HGBL, NOS) was a new entity in the 2016 WHO classification of Tumours of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues[1], partially replacing ‘B cell lymphoma, unclassifiable, with features intermediate between diffuse large B cell lymphoma and Burkitt lymphoma (BCLU)’, which was defined in the 2008 WHO edition. This entity consists of a heterogeneous group of aggressive mature B-cell lymphomas. HGBL, NOS lacks the combination of rearrangements required for categorization as ‘High-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements’, and does not meet the criteria for a diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), or Burkitt lymphoma (BL). Given this is a relatively newly defined entity, further refinement may occur over time as more data emerges.

Synonyms / Terminology

HGBL, NOS

Epidemiology / Prevalence

HGBL, NOS is rare in the context of other aggressive lymphomas. The true incidence is unknown, since in the literature this entity has commonly been grouped together with HGBL with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements. In general, affected patients are older adults (≥60 years), with incidence increasing with age. Both males and females are affected[1]. A study of 41 cases showed the median age of onset was 41 (range of 12 to 79). This study also showed slightly higher incidence in males (63%) than females (37%)[2].

Clinical Features

Put your text here and fill in the table (Instruction: Can include references in the table. Do not delete table.)

Signs and Symptoms EXAMPLE: Asymptomatic (incidental finding on complete blood counts)

EXAMPLE: B-symptoms (weight loss, fever, night sweats)

EXAMPLE: Fatigue

EXAMPLE: Lymphadenopathy (uncommon)

Laboratory Findings EXAMPLE: Cytopenias

EXAMPLE: Lymphocytosis (low level)


editv4:Clinical Features
The content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.

Patients with HGBL, NOS typically present with clinically aggressive, advanced-stage disease, characterized by a high International Prognostic Index (IPI), and short survival. Both extranodal involvement and increased serum lactate dehydrogenase are common[2][3][4]. Clinical signs can include unexplained fever, lymphadenopathy, night sweats, decreased body mass, abdominal pain, and abdominal distension[2].

Sites of Involvement

Lymph nodes. Involvement of extranodal sites such as the gastrointestinal tract, bone marrow and the central nervous system is also frequent[2][3].

Morphologic Features

Two major morphological variants are present:

  1. most commonly, Burkitt-like morphology associated with a clinical phenotype more akin to Burkitt lymphoma than DLBCL
  2. more rarely, blastoid morphology[1].

Cases with the former morphology were designated as BCLU in the 2008 WHO classification. These cases are characterized by a diffuse proliferation of predominantly medium-sized cells with variable nuclear shape and size. A starry-sky appearance with many mitotic figures and prominent apoptosis can be seen in many cases. A subset of these cases very closely mimic BL; however, they are included in HGBL, NOS when atypical immunophenotype (e.g. diffuse and strong BCL2 expression) or genetic abnormalities (e.g. a complex karyotype) are present[1][5][6].

In the latter, cells have blastoid appearance which can look like lymphoblastic lymphoma, but lack TdT and CCND1 expression. A starry-sky pattern is common in this variant[7].

Immunophenotype

The immunophenotype is variable due to the heterogeneous nature of this entity, the WHO describes a limited set of common markers, as detailed in the table below.

MYC expression is variable[1][2] and at least partially dependent on the concurrent presence or absence of MYC rearrangements or copy number changes.

A germinal center-like immunophenotype is common accounting for 65-76% of cases with CD10 and 83-90% of cases with BCL6 expression[2][8].

Finding Marker
Positive (universal) Pan B-cell markers such as CD19, CD20, and CD22
Positive (subset) CD10, Ki-67, MYC, BCL2, BCL6, IRF4/MUM1
Negative (universal) TdT, CD34, CCND1
Negative (subset) CD10, Ki-67, MYC, BCL2, BCL6, IRF4/MUM1

There are no recurrent chromosomal rearrangements associated with HGBL, NOS.

Please incorporate this section into the relevant tables found in:
  • Chromosomal Rearrangements (Gene Fusions)
  • Individual Region Genomic Gain/Loss/LOH
  • Characteristic Chromosomal Patterns
  • Gene Mutations (SNV/INDEL)

HGBL, NOS is associated with an aggressive clinical course with poor prognosis. Some studies suggest that despite the poor prognosis, clinical outcomes may be slightly better than those of HGBL with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements[4][9][10]. Patients with double-expressor lymphoma (DHL) or a MYC rearrangement (SHL) have shown inferior overall survival than those without them in this entity[2]. A prognostic significance of various factors such as morphology of the tumor cells, types of genetic abnormalities and MYC translocation partner remains not fully understood since subgroup analysis is very limited and studies on this aspect have been conducted mainly in DLBCL cases[1][11].

There is no established standard therapy. In some studies patients treated with a high-intensity chemotherapy (DA-EPOCH-R, R-CODOX-M/IVAC, or R-Hyper-CVAD) have shown better clinical outcomes than those treated with R-CHOP, but further studies are needed to establish optimal treatment[2].

editv4:Characteristic Chromosomal Aberrations / Patterns
The content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.

This entity is genetically heterogeneous and the karyotype is often complex. By definition, concurrent MYC and BCL2 or BCL6 rearrangements are not seen. Isolated MYC rearrangement is common, being present in 20-35% of cases[1][2][4][5]. Similarly, isolated rearrangements of BCL2 or/and BCL6 have been reported, occurring 14%-25% of reported cases. Copy number changes or amplification of MYC, BCL2, or/and BCL6 have been reported approximately in 20% of cases[2][4][5]. 27-29% of cases do not display any copy number or structural abnormalities involving MYC, BCL2, or BCL6[2][4].

editv4:Gene Mutations (SNV/INDEL)
The content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.

There are few focused studies of sequence variation in HGBL, NOS. One study investigated nine cases, interrogating 13 genes that are frequently mutated in either BL or DLBCL. Variants in ID3, CCND3, MYC, BCL2, CREBBP, and SGK1 were found in these cases, indicating their variant profiles overlap with those of BL and DLBCL. Although the sample size was small, it is noteworthy that ID3 mutations were found in all eight cases with isolated MYC rearrangements[13].
