WHO Classification of Disease

Structure Disease
Book Haematolymphoid Tumours (5th ed.)
Category T-cell and NK-cell lymphoid proliferations and lymphomas
Family Mature T-cell and NK-cell neoplasms
Type Anaplastic large cell lymphoma
Subtype(s) ALK-negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma

Definition / Description of Disease

  • Anaplastic large cell lymphomas (ALCL), ALK-negative, is a CD30+ T-cell lymphoma that is morphologically and immunophenotypically indistinguishable (but lacks ALK protein expression) from ALK(+) ALCL[1][2]
  • Three major molecular subtypes of ALK (-) ALCL[1][2]:
    • DUSP22-rearranged subtype (30%)
    • TP63-rearranged subtype (8%)
    • Triple-negative subtype (DUSP22 negative, TP63 negative, ALK negative)
    • Emerging subtypes:
      • ERBB4 expression (~25%): mutually exclusive with other rearrangements (TP63, DUSP22, ROS or TYK translocations)[3]

Synonyms / Terminology

  • N/A

Epidemiology / Prevalence

  • More common in adults than children (peak incidence 6th decade of life)[4]
  • Less than 3% of all Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma[4]
  • M:F 1.5:1[4]

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 B-symptoms (weight loss, fever, night sweats)[4]

Peripheral and/or Lymphadenopathy[4]

Most patients present with advanced stage disease[4]

Laboratory Findings Not specific


editv4:Clinical Features
The content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.
  • B symptoms of weight loss, fevers, chills[4]
  • Peripheral and/or abdominal lymphadenopathy[4]
  • Most patients present with advanced stage disease[4]

Sites of Involvement

  • Nodal (predominantly abdominal lymphadenopathy) in a sinusoidal pattern
  • Extranodal (skin, soft tissue, gastrointestinal, bone) in about 20% of cases
    • If involving the skin or GI tract, cases must be distinguished from primary cutaneous ALCL or CD30+ enteropathy-associated/other intestinal T-cell lymphomas, respectively

Morphologic Features

  • Tissue effacement by cohesive sheets of large, pleomorphic neoplastic cells, with or without prominent nucleoli, with varying proportions of hallmark cells
  • "Hallmark cells"
    • Lymphoma cells characterized by eccentric, horseshoe-shaped or kidney-shaped nuclei, often with eosinophilic cytoplasm accentuated near the nucleus
    • Usually large in size, but may also be smaller
    • Less common that in classic variant of ALK (+) ALCL
  • DUSP22-rearranged subtype tends to lack large pleomorphic cells and show smaller, monomorphic cells with central nuclear pseudoinclusions (doughnut cells)
  • Intrasinusoidal growth pattern seen in cases with preserved nodal architecture

Immunophenotype

Immunohistochemical patterns vary by subtype[4][5][6]


DUSP22-rearranged subtype

Finding Marker
Positive (universal) CD30*, CD43 (almost universally)
Negative (universal) ALK, TP63, EBER, LMP-1
Positive (frequent) CD2, CD3, CD4+ cases more common than CD8, CD5, Clusterin
Negative (frequent) TIAI, granzyme B, perforin, EMA, PAX5

*Strong and diffuse CD30 staining; should be equal intensity in all cells

TP63-rearranged subtype

Finding Marker
Positive (universal) CD30*, CD43 (almost universally), P63, CD4+ cases more common than CD8
Negative (universal) ALK, EBER, LMP-1
Positive (frequent) CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, TIA1, granzyme B, perforin, clusterin
Negative (very frequent) EMA

Triple-negative subtype

Finding Marker
Positive (universal) CD30*, CD43 (almost universally), CD2, CD3, CD4+ cases more common than CD8, CD5, TIA1, granzyme B, perforin, EMA
Negative (universal) ALK, P63, EBER, LMP-1
Positive (common) EMA, clusterin
Negative (frequent) PAX5, CD20, CD79a, CD15

Chromosomal Rearrangements (Gene Fusions)

Put your text here and fill in the table

Chromosomal Rearrangement Genes in Fusion (5’ or 3’ Segments) Pathogenic Derivative Prevalence Diagnostic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown) Prognostic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown) Therapeutic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown) Notes
*t(6;7)(p25.3;q32.3) DUSP22/FRA7H[7] DUSP22/FRA7H fusion protein 30%[6] No Yes No
  • * These rearrangements are considered mutually exclusive; however, a single case with both DUSP22 and TP63 rearrangement has been described[8]. Can also be seen in a fraction of other PTCL.
  • 5-year overall survival > 90%
  • Therapeutic Implications
    • Multi-agent chemotherapy (CHOEP or CHOP-based) as first-line, with or without radiotherapy of involved site
    • High dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation for remission

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)
  • Diagnosis
    • In general, ALK(-) ALCL has a worse prognosis when compared to ALK (+) ALCL[2]
    • ALK(-) ALCL has shown superior prognosis when compared to PTCL, NOS. The 5-year failure-free survival rate was 36% vs 20%, and overall survival rate was 49% vs 32%[17]
  • Prognosis
    • When compared to ALK(+) ALCL, ALK(-) ALCL has a generally poorer prognosis, however:
      • When stratified for age, prognosis between ALK(-) and ALK(+) ALCL appears similar [17][18]
    • 5-year overall survival > 90% for DUSP22-rearranged ALK(-) ALCL, 17% for TP63-rearranged ALK(-) ALCL, and 42% for cases lacking all DUSP22, TP63 and ALK rearrangements[6][14]
    • Patients with 6q21/PRDM1 and/or 17p loss showed an inferior outcome than patients with normal 6q21 and 17p; not clear if mainly due to TP53 deletion due to study size[19]
      • Often concomitant loss and seen in almost a quarter of cases
    • Mutations with significantly shorter OS compared to wild-type[20]
    • Prognostic significance of ERB4 and COL29A1 co-expressing subtypes unclear [3]
  • Therapeutic Implications
    • Multi-agent chemotherapy (CHOEP or CHOP-based) as first-line, with or without radiotherapy of involved site
    • High dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation for remission
    • DUSP22 subtype may not gain additional benefit from autologous stem cell transplantation in first remission
    • Theoretical:
      • Ruxolitinib may be used to target JAK-STAT pathway[9][10] (not FDA-approved)
      • Bromodomain and extra-terminal proteins (BET) inhibitors may target ERBB4 pathway[10][11]

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
STAT3[13] JAK-STAT pathway Increased cell growth and proliferation
NFkB2-ROS1 fusion[13] JAK-STAT pathway Increased cell growth and proliferation
NFkB2-TYK2 fusion[13] JAK-STAT pathway Increased cell growth and proliferation
editv4:Genes and Main Pathways Involved
The content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.
  • JAK-STAT[13]
    • STAT3 mutants are constitutively phosphorylated
    • JAK1 mutants lead to the constitutive phosphorylation of STAT and synergize with STAT3 mutants
    • When JAK/STAT3 mutations absent, NFkB2-ROS1 and NFkB2-TYK2 fusions may constitutively activate STAT pathway

Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods

  • Morphologic and immunophenotypic characterization
    • Strong CD30 staining of equal intensity help distinguish from PTCL, NOS, classic Hodgkin lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma
    • Exclusion of ALK(+) ALCL cases by immunostain for ALK
    • P63 immunostain to identify TP63 rearranged. Immunophenotyping is not sensitive and is thus used as screening before FISH analysis. A ≥ 30% threshold yields 100% sensitivity[28]
  • Presence of STAT3 and/or JAK1 mutations seem to favor ALK(-) ALCL over PTCL-NOS[13]
  • FISH studies necessary to subtype:
    • DUSP22 (IRF4/DUSP22) break-apart probe
    • TP63 rearrangement
  • ERBB4(+) cases may be identified using digital droplet PCR or immunostaining for MMP9 (a protein highly correlated with ERBB4 expression)
    • Not routinely performed
