Haematolymphoid Tumours (WHO Classification, 5th ed.)

editContent Update To WHO 5th Edition Classification Is In Process; Content Below is Based on WHO 4th Edition Classification
This page was converted to the new template on 2023-12-07. The original page can be found at HAEM4:Follicular Lymphoma.

Other relevent pages include: HAEM4:Testicular Follicular Lymphoma

Note: autho needs to correlate with Testicular Follicular Lymphoma

(General Instructions – The main focus of these pages is the clinically significant genetic alterations in each disease type. Use HUGO-approved gene names and symbols (italicized when appropriate), HGVS-based nomenclature for variants, as well as generic names of drugs and testing platforms or assays if applicable. Please complete tables whenever possible and do not delete them (add N/A if not applicable in the table and delete the examples); to add (or move) a row or column to a table, click within the table and select the > symbol that appears to be given options. Please do not delete or alter the section headings. The use of bullet points alongside short blocks of text rather than only large paragraphs is encouraged. Additional instructions below in italicized blue text should not be included in the final page content. Please also see Author_Instructions and FAQs as well as contact your Associate Editor or Technical Support)

WHO Classification of Disease

Structure Disease
Book Haematolymphoid Tumours (5th ed.)
Category B-cell lymphoid proliferations and lymphomas
Family Mature B-cell neoplasms
Type N/A
Subtype(s) Follicular lymphoma

Definition / Description of Disease

  • Follicular Lymphoma (FL) arises from germinal center B cells of the secondary lymphatic system (lymph nodes, spleen)
  • WHO 5th edition classifies FL into four variants:  in situ FL, duodenal-type FL, pediatric FL, and Follicular Lymphoma[1].
    • FL is further classified as Classic FL (cFL), characterized by t(14;18), follicular large B-cell lymphoma (FLBL), and FL with uncommon features (uFL)[1]
    • There is emerging evidence that FL may arise from in situ FL or as a primary [2]
  • For most patients, FL is a chronic, incurable disease with survival often measured in decades.
  • Histologic transformation to more aggressive disease with potentially fatal outcome may occur

Synonyms / Terminology

Follicular Center Lymphoma; Follicle-related B-cell Lymphoma

Epidemiology / Prevalence

Slight male predominance (male-to-female ratio of 1.2:1)

Median age at diagnosis is 60-65 years;

Progressive increase in incidence between ages 35-70

FL is extremely rare in children; considered a separate entity from adult FL

~5% of all hematological neoplasms are FL

~20% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas are FL[3]

Highest incidence in developed/high income countries

Second most common lymphoma in the USA and western Europe

Most common lymphoma among non-Hispanic white population [2]

Environmental exposures to pesticides and herbicides as risk factors are disputed; Hair dye use prior to 1980 is associated with increased risk (meta RR = 1.66) [3, 4].

Genetic risk factors may include SNPs within HLA class I or II genes [8] or homozygosity of HLA class II genes [9]; these features have been identified within a few familial cases of FL.


Clinical Features

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

  • FL commonly presents as painless lymphadenopathy[4]
  • May wax and wane over years before diagnosis
  • Majority of cases have widespread involvement at diagnosis[4]
  • Bone marrow involvement in 40-70% of cases at diagnosis
  • May not require treatment depending staging and other parameters.

Morphologic Features

Appearance of predominantly follicular pattern

Consists of both centrocytes and centroblasts, with the relative proportions of these cells informing grading

Grade 1:   0-5 centroblasts/high power field (hpf)

Grade 2:  6-15 centroblasts/hpf

Grade III: >15 centroblasts/hpf

  Grade IIIa:  centrocytes present

Grade IIIb:  sheets of centroblasts


Immunophenotype

Typically, FL is CD10+, BL2+. Atypical FL subgroups CD10- and/or BCL2 - all FL are STMN+ - useful differentiator between atypical FL and MZL [9]

Finding Marker
Positive (universal) monotypic surface Ig (sIg)+, BCL2, CD10, CD19, CD20, CD79a, STMN+

Chromosomal Pattern Diagnostic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown) Prognostic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown) Therapeutic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown) Notes
EXAMPLE:

Co-deletion of 1p and 18q

Yes No No EXAMPLE:

See chromosomal rearrangements table as this pattern is due to an unbalanced derivative translocation associated with oligodendroglioma (add reference).

Gene Mutations (SNV / INDEL)

Put your text here and fill in the table (Instructions: This table is not meant to be an exhaustive list; please include only genes/alterations that are recurrent and common as well as either disease defining and/or clinically significant. Can include references in the table. For clinical significance, denote associations with FDA-approved therapy (not an extensive list of applicable drugs) and NCCN or other national guidelines if applicable. Can also refer to CGC workgroup tables as linked on the homepage if applicable as well as any high impact papers or reviews of gene mutations in this entity. Do not delete table.)

Genes and Main Pathways Involved

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

Gene; Genetic Alteration Pathway Pathophysiologic Outcome
EXAMPLE: BRAF and MAP2K1; Activating mutations EXAMPLE: MAPK signaling EXAMPLE: Increased cell growth and proliferation
EXAMPLE: CDKN2A; Inactivating mutations EXAMPLE: Cell cycle regulation EXAMPLE: Unregulated cell division
EXAMPLE:  KMT2C and ARID1A; Inactivating mutations EXAMPLE:  Histone modification, chromatin remodeling EXAMPLE:  Abnormal gene expression program

BCR-NFκB, JAK/STAT; mTORC signaling

Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods

Surgical excision preferred; FISH or PCR for BCL2 rearrangement; preserve frozen tissue for further molecular testing

Familial Forms

SNPs within HLA class I or II genes [8] or homozygosity of HLA class II genes [9]

Additional Information

Precursor B cells typically mature in the marrow, where they may become mature naïve B cells or may apoptose.  Following antigen exposure, mature B cells may become short lived plasma cells, or may enter the germinal center and undergo somatic hypermutation and heavy chain class switching.
