Aggressive subtype of peripheral T-cell lymphoma. HSTL is an extranodal T-cell lymphoma that is known to have a poor response to therapy and an overall poor prognosis. This lymphoma is characterized by sinusoidal infiltration of the liver spleen and often bone marrow by cytotoxic T-cells that most commonly express the γδ T-cell receptor. Less commonly, some patients may have a variant of this lymphoma that is associated with αβ expressing cytotoxic T-cells<ref name=":0">Medeiros LJ, O'Malley DP, Caraway NP, Vega F, Elenitoba-Johnson KS, Lim MS: AFIP Atlas of Tumor Pathology.

This page was converted to the new template on 2023-12-07. The original page can be found at HAEM4:Hepatosplenic T-cell 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). 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.

Cancer Category / Type

  • HAEM5: Mature T-cell and NK-cell Neoplasms

Cancer Sub-Classification / Subtype

Definition / Description of Disease

Aggressive subtype of peripheral T-cell lymphoma. HSTL is an extranodal T-cell lymphoma that is known to have a poor response to therapy and an overall poor prognosis. This lymphoma is characterized by sinusoidal infiltration of the liver, spleen and often bone marrow, and uncommonly lymph nodes by cytotoxic T-cells that most commonly express the γδ T-cell receptor. Less commonly, some patients may have a variant of this lymphoma that is associated with αβ expressing cytotoxic T-cells [1][2][3]. Most cases occur de novo, with a subset of approximately 20-30% occurring in the setting of iatrogenic immunosuppression [3].

Synonyms / Terminology

  • Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTL)

Epidemiology / Prevalence

  • 1.4-2% of peripheral T-cell lymphomas[2]
  • ~75% are Classic γδ type[2]
  • Male predominance in gamma-delta subtype[2]
  • Median age ~ 35 years old[3], 51% with age >60 years old[4]

Clinical Features

Signs and Symptoms Splenomegaly (most common symptom)[3]

B-symptoms (night sweats, fever, weight loss and fatigue)[1]

Hepatomegaly[2][3]

Lymphadenopathy (uncommon)[1][3]

Laboratory Findings Cytopenias (most commonly thrombocytopenia)[1][3]

Elevated serum levels of B2M[2]

Elevated serum levels of LDH[2]

Sites of Involvement

  • Spleen
  • Liver
  • Bone marrow
  • Lymph node (uncommon)
  • Skin (rarely, in relapse cases)
  • With or without leukemic involvement


Morphologic Features

  • Typically shows a sinusoidal pattern

Immunophenotype

Finding Marker
Positive (typically) CD2, CD3, γδ T-cell receptor, TIA1, Granzyme M[2]
Negative CD5, CD4, CD8[2]

Chromosomal Rearrangements (Gene Fusions)

  • No known chromosomal rearrangements at this time

Individual Region Genomic Gain / Loss / LOH

Chr # Gain / Loss / Amp / LOH Minimal Region Genomic Coordinates [Genome Build] Minimal Region Cytoband Diagnostic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown)[3][5] Prognostic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown)[3][5] Therapeutic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown) Notes
7q Gain Chr7 Yes Yes No Considered a primary aberration[3]
8 Gain (trisomy) Chr8 Yes Yes No Considered a secondary aberration[3]
Y Loss ChrY No No No Seen in 20-25% of cases[2]
10q Loss Chr10 No No No Seen in 10-20% of cases[2]
1q Gain Chr1 No No No Seen in 10-15% of cases[2]


Characteristic Chromosomal Patterns

  • 7q aberrations and trisomy 8 are considered specific for HSTL, but not sensitive[3]
Chromosomal Pattern Diagnostic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown) Prognostic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown)[3][5] Therapeutic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown) Notes
Isochromsome 7q[6] and chromosome 7 imbalances including ring chromosome 7.

Cases with chromosome 7 abnormalities show:

  • Constant loss of 7p22.1p14.1 (34.88 Mb; 3506316-38406226 bp)[7]
  • Gain of 7q22.11q31.1 (38.77 Mb; 86259620–124892276 bp)[7] Can be seen in conjunction with trisomy 8

Can be seen in conjunction with trisomy 8

Yes Yes No
  • See table under "Genomic Gain/Loss/LOH"


  • Cases without diagnostic detection of i(7q) or trisomy 8, often have detection of these abnormalities at the time of relapse or disease progression[3]
Loss of chromosome 10q and gain of chromosome 1q No Yes No
  • occur in a significant minority of HSTL cases[5]

Epigenomic Alterations

  • AIM1 is dramatically reduced in HSTL likely due to promoter methylation[11]
    • Suggest AIM1 may play a role as a tumor suppressor gene in HSTL oncogenesis[11]
  • Eight consistently hypermethylated genes (BCL11B, CD5, CXCR6, GIMAP7, LTA, SEPT9, UBAC2, UXS1) and four consistently hypomethylated genes (ADARB1, NFIC, NR1H3, ST3GAL3) in HSTL[12].
    • Hypermethylated genes (LTA, CD5, CXCR6, GIMAP7, BCL11B and SEPT9) are relevant to the pathobiology of T-cell leukemias/lymphomas, and are hypermethylated at active promoter sites mainly around transcription start sites[12].
      • Hypermethylation of CpGs around transcription start sites shows a lack of protein expression of CD5 and CXCR6 by immunohistochemistry in HSTL, compared to normal lymphocytes[12].
        • Note: This finding is not specific to HSTL and can be seen in other T-cell lymphomas[12]
  • A single study has shown use of IFNα2c therapy-induced changes in CpG methylation[13]
    • CpG methylation changes have the potential to serve as biomarkers of drug responses and/or disease progression[13]

Genes and Main Pathways Involved

Gene; Genetic Alteration[11] Pathway[11] Pathophysiologic Outcome
KIRs, KLR, CD244, and NCAM1 overexpression NK-cell–associated molecules Dysregulation of NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity
FOS, VAV3, MAF, and BRAF overexpression Oncogene Enhanced oncogenic signaling promoting cellular transformation and tumorigenesis
VCAM1, CD11d, and ICAM1 overexpression Cell adhesion Increased inflammatory response due to enhanced leukocyte endothelial transmigration
SPRY2, RHOB, MAP4K3, and SPRY1 overexpression Signal transduction Altered cellular growth, differentiation, and migration. Overactive signaling pathways could contribute to oncogenesis
GLI3, PRKAR2B, PRKACB, and PRKAR1A overexpression Sonic hedgehog pathway Abnormal tissue patterning and growth
FRZB, TCF7L2, BAMBI, TLE1, CTNNB1, APC, and FZD5 overexpression WNT pathway Disruption of normal WNT signaling balance, potentially leading to abnormal cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration
ABCB1, GSTP1 overexpression Multidrug resistance signaling Enhanced efflux of chemotherapeutic agents from cancer cells, leading to reduced efficacy of treatment and the development of drug resistance
S1PR5 overexpression Homing of NK cells into the spleen Distribution and accumulation of neoplastic γδ cells in the spleen and bone marrow
SYK* overexpression Tyrosine kinase Cell growth and survival of neoplastic HSTL cells
AIM1 down-expression Tumor suppressor Impaired cellular growth regulation leading to increased susceptibility to tumor formation
Granulysin, Granzyme H, Granzyme K, and Granzyme B under-expression Cytotoxicity Compromised ability of NK cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes to induce apoptosis
LTA, TNF, and IFNG under-expression Cytokines Reduced inflammatory and immune responses

*SyK expression was seen one study, which is not typical for normal T-cells[11]

  • Syk is a protein tyrosine kinase usually involved in B-cell receptor signaling[11]

Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods

Clinical, morphologic, and immunophenotypic features are sufficient for diagnosis in most cases. Cytogenetic testing could be used to support the diagnosis

  • Karyotype may show trisomy 8, if present
  • FISH targeted isochromosome 7q and trisomy 8
  • Next generation sequencing to support mutations seen in HSTL including STAT3, STAT5B, PI3KCD, SETD2, INO80, TET3, and STAT5B[11]
    • Presence of RHOA mutation, can potentially exclude HSTL from the differential diagnosis[11]
