Primary Author(s)

  • Afia Hasnain, MBBS, PhD

Cancer Category/Type

Cancer Sub-Classification / Subtype

  • Large B-cell Lymphoma (LBCL) with IRF4 Rearrangement

Definition / Description of Disease

  • Rare LBCL harboring IRF4 gene rearrangement and involving head & neck lymphoid tissues typically in the pediatric age group[1][2][3]


Synonyms / Terminology

  • None

Epidemiology / Prevalence [4][5]

  • Rare ~0.05% of LBCLs
  • Median age 12 years
  • Male ~ Female

Clinical Features [4][5]

  • Lymphadenopathy
  • Tonsillar hypertrophy

Sites of Involvement [4]

  • Head and neck lymph nodes
  • Waldeyer ring
  • Gastrointestinal tract

Morphologic Features [4]

  • Medium to large sized neoplastic cells
  • Chromatin is more open than seen in centrocytes
  • Small basophilic nucleoli
  • Follicular type: large neoplastic follicles are seen with a back-to-back growth pattern and absent or attenuated mantle zones
  • Follicles lack serpiginous configuration and starry-sky pattern

Immunophenotype [5][6]

Finding Marker
Positive (universal) CD20, CD79a, PAX5, BCL6, MUM1
Positive (subset) CD10, BCL2
Negative (universal) PRDM1

Chromosomal Rearrangements (Gene Fusions) [3][7]

IG/IRF4 translocations activate the transcription of the IRF4 gene resulting in increased expression of the IRF4/MUM1 protein. Translocations between IGH, IGL, and IGK with IRF4 have been described. Most common translocation partner is IGH with a cytogenetically cryptic t(6;14)(p25;q32) translocation, whereas, light chain variants are rare.

Chromosomal Rearrangement Genes in Fusion (5’ or 3’ Segments) Pathogenic Derivative Prevalence
t(6;14)(p25;q32) IGH/IRF4 der(14) Most common
t(6;22)(p25;q11) IGL/IRF4 der(22) Rare
t(2;6)(p12;p25) IGK/IRF4 der(2) Rare

Characteristic Chromosomal Aberrations / Patterns

IRF4 Rearrangement[3]

Genomic Gain/Loss/LOH[8]

  • One study using comparative genomic hybridization showed complex changes with gains of 7q32.1-qter, 11q22.3-qter, and Xq28 and losses of 6q13–16.1, 15q14–22.3, and 17p.
  • TP53 point mutations were detected with a loss of 17p showing inactivation of TP53 in a subset of these cases.
  • Further studies are needed to define the potential functional effect of these variants

Gene Mutations (SNV/INDEL)[9]

  • These tumors have shown a distinct molecular profile characterized by frequent mutations in IRF4 and NF-κB-related genes (CARD11, CD79B, and MYD88) and overexpression of downstream target genes of the NF-κB pathway.
  • SNV profile for LBCL-IRF4: Frequently mutated genes were IRF4 (76%), CARD11 (35%), and CCND3 (24%)
  • CNV profile for LBCL-IRF4: Frequent 17p/TP53 deletions (25%), without gene mutations, and gains of chromosome 7 (45%) and 11q12.3-q25 (35%).
  • Further studies are needed to define the potential functional effect of these variants.

Epigenomics (Methylation)[5][9]

  • No recurrent epigenetic changes have been reported in literature.
  • Further studies are needed to describe the role of epigenomics in this entity

Genes and Main Pathways Involved[9]

  • IRF4 rearrangement with IGH locus detected in most cases
  • Mutations in NF-κB-related genes, in particular the CARD11 gene are responsible for overexpression of the NF-κB pathway


Diagnostic Testing Methods[10]

  • IG/IRF4 rearrangements
  • Strong and diffuse MUM1 staining suggestive of this diagnosis
  • Cryptic IRF4 translocation are not detectable by cytogenetic techniques
  • IRF rearrangements can be detected by IHC and FISH analysis


Clinical Significance (Diagnosis, Prognosis and Therapeutic Implications)[3][5]

  • Diagnostic: IG/IRF4 rearrangements are diagnostic and specific to this disease entity. Further studies on mutation profiling in these cases may help in defining parameters for risk stratification.
  • Prognostic: Favorable outcome after treatment (combination immunochemotherapy with or without radiation)

Familial Forms[5]

  • No familial form reported in literature.

Other Information

  • None
