Category T-cell and NK-cell lymphoid proliferations and lymphomas
Family Mature T-cell and NK-cell neoplasms
Type N/A
Subtype(s) Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma

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]

Co-occurrence of Isochromosome 7q and trisomy 8 can be seen in 8-53% of cases[3]

*Chromatin modifiers make up the most commonly mutated genes in HSTL, detected in 62% of cases. [5]

Note: A more extensive list of mutations can be found in cBioportal (https://www.cbioportal.org/), COSMIC (https://cancer.sanger.ac.uk/cosmic), ICGC (https://dcc.icgc.org/) and/or other databases. When applicable, gene-specific pages within the CCGA site directly link to pertinent external conten

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[5][11] Pathway[5][11] Pathophysiologic Outcome[5][11]
STAT, PIK3CD Signaling pathways PI-3 kinase and JAK-STAT signaling pathways maintain proliferation and survival within HSTL cells
SETD2 Tumor suppressor, chromatin modifier Reduced SETD2 protein expression and increased proliferation of HSTL cells
INO80, ARID1B, TET3, SMARCA2 Chromatin modifier Disrupted regulation of cell differentiation and proliferation, resulting in development and progression of cancer
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

*RHOA mutations predominantly favor Peripheral T-cell lymphomas, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL)[5]

**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]
