*Diffuse infiltrate composed of admixture of small, medium, or large and anaplastic cells.
 
*Cells have irregularly folded nuclei and moderate pale cytoplasm.
 
*Loss of mucosal glands.
 
*Angiocentric and angiodestructive growth pattern with coagulative necrosis.
 
*Usually see apoptotic cells and mitotic figures

Epigenomic Alterations

A 2015 study by Lu, et al uncovered recurrent mutations in the RNA helicase gene DDX3X and other epigenetic modifiers including KMT2D (MLL2), ARID1A, EP300, and ASXL3[16].

Similarly, a 2015 study by Lee, et al reported that histone modification-related genes, including BCOR and KMT2D (MLL2), accounted for 38.2% of 34 ENKTL samples by next-generation sequencing[18].

Genes and Main Pathways Involved

Huang, et al described deregulation of several signaling pathways in NK T-cell lymphoma, main ones listed below[21]. A review by De Mel, et al, also outlines key molecular pathways involved in the pathogenesis of ENKTL[35].

Gene; Genetic Alteration Pathway Pathophysiologic Outcome
JAK3, STAT3, and STAT5B; Activating mutations[21][35] JAK/STAT pathway Increased cell growth and proliferation
MYC, RUNX3[35] MYC Increased cell proliferation and survival
AKT and related genes[21] AKT pathway Increased cell growth, proliferation and survival
NF-κB related genes[21][35] NF-κB pathway Increased cell proliferation
PDGFRA[21][35] PDGF pathway Increased cell proliferation and survival
NOTCH1[35] NOTCH1 pathway Increased cell proliferation
AURKA[35] Aurora kinase pathway[20] Increased cell proliferation and cell cycle dysregulation

Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods

  • Select cases may require TCR gene rearrangement studies; otherwise, not routinely performed.
  • EBV PCR testing may be used for disease monitoring

Familial Forms

Additional Information

Extranodal NK T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (HPS). Angiocentric and angiodestructive growth pattern.

This disease is defined/characterized as detailed below:

  • Lymphoma of NK or T-cell lineage strongly associated with Epstein-Barr virus[36]. The lineage (NK or T-cell) has no clinical significance[37].
  • Divided into nasal and non-nasal types, the latter most often occurring in the skin and intestinal tract[38][36].
  • It is a destructive angiocentric disease characterized by vascular destruction and necrosis[39].
  • Differential diagnosis: sinonasal carcinomas and other lymphomas of the nasal cavity, such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma[40].

The epidemiology/prevalence of this disease is detailed below:

  • Most prevalent in East Asia and Latin America.
  • Represents less than 1% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the United States
    • Highest incidence among Asian Pacific Islanders and Hispanic populations[41].

The clinical features of this disease are detailed below:

Extranodal NK T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (HPS). Angiocentric and angiodestructive growth pattern.

Signs and symptoms - Nasal mass, nasal obstruction, nasal bleeding; Hoarseness, dysphagia, halitosis, airway obstruction, dysphonia; Abdominal pain, GI bleeding, bowel perforation[42]; B symptoms (fever, weight loss, night sweats) associated with higher clinical stage[43]

Laboratory findings - No specific findings; Cytopenias

The sites of involvement of this disease are detailed below:

  • Most are nasal type involving the upper aerodigestive tract
  • Extranasal type may involve skin, testis, and gastrointestinal tract[42].
  • Bone marrow involvement is uncommon[44].

The morphologic features of this disease are detailed below:

  • Diffuse infiltrate composed of admixture of small, medium, or large and anaplastic cells.
  • Cells have irregularly folded nuclei and moderate pale cytoplasm.
  • Loss of mucosal glands.
  • Angiocentric and angiodestructive growth pattern with coagulative necrosis.
  • Usually see apoptotic cells and mitotic figures
    Extranodal NK T-cell lymphoma stained with CD2 (top left), CD56 (red chromogen; top right), EBER in-situ hybridization (bottom left) and TIA1 (bottom right).

The pitfalls can include:

  • Mucosal ulceration and superimposed inflammation can mimic an inflammatory process, particularly in less aggressive cases[45].
  • Pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia of the overlying mucosal epithelium can mimic squamous cell carcinoma[46][47].

The immunophenotype of this disease is detailed below:

Positive (universal) - EBER / EBV

Positive (majority) - cytoplasmic CD3ε, CD2, CD56, granzyme B, and TIA-1

Positive (subset) - TCR αβ/γδ, HLA-DR, CD25, pSTAT3, CXCL13, IRF4/MUM1, CD16, Fas, FasL, MATK, CD30[48][49][50][51][52][53][54]

Negative (universal) - CD4, CD8

Negative (subset) - Surface CD3 (subset of T-cell lineage)[42]
