Neoplastic Haematopathology– clinical & laboratory considerations and their diagnostic/ therapeutic implications (1,2,3) Role of the histopathologist– 1. establish diagnosis (consider pitfalls) exclude non-neoplastic haematolymphoid processes inflammatory (dermatopathic LA); immunological (Kikuchi; lupus); infection (infectious mononucleosis (IM) in nodes, toxoplasma); megaloblastic anaemia in trephines (not covered – refer to extra slides); significance of granulomas (assess background lymphoid tissue), and, exclude non-haematolymphoid pathology [ e.g. metastasis- signet] 2. Guide/direct further management (e.g. advise on repeat sampling; material for flow-cytometry; local practices – FNA vs core vs excision) 3. Efficiency – time (rapid turnaround), cost See Ref. 1 (a&b): RCPath documents Ref. 2: IOG guidance Ref. 3: BLPG

Note: The diagnosis of mycosis fungoides is best established with the collaboration of a knowledgeable clinician, unless the histopathologic findings are unequivocal.

Primary Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphomas Mycosis fungoides – patch and tumour stage

Note: CD30+ cells occur in some plaques of mycosis fungoides, but mostly in tumors that have anaplastic large cells; when CD30 is expressed on lesional lymphocytes that have undergone large cell transformation, it does seem to have prognostic significance

Primary Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphomas (Non-mycosis fungoides)

Three types of primary cutaneous CD30+ lymphoproliferative disorders (LPDs) are recognized in the World Health Organization classification: • primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (C-ALCL), • lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP), and • borderline lesions.

Quintanilla-Martinez L, et al. Non–Mycosis Fungoides Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphomas. Report of the 2011 Soc for Hematopathology/Eur Assoc for Haem Wkshp. Am J Clin Pathol 2013;139:491-514

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust

Diagnostic challenges

Note: LyP and C-ALCL can coexist and probably represent a continuum of lesions. Detection of clonality does not indicate lymphoma as it occurs in LyP and pityriasis lichenoides. Histologic distinction of LyP from lymphoma can be extremely difficult, making clinical correlation imperative. The diagnosis is often obvious when one sees the patient. The correct diagnosis of LyP is essential to avoid overtreatment.
