Introduction
Also see non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Classification
- indolent
- aggressive
- highly aggressive
- Burkett lymphoma
- lymphoblastic lymphoma
- AIDS-related lymphoma
Genetics
- the bcl-7a gene is a site of recurrent breakpoint in high grade B cell lymphomas
- chromosomal translocation t(8;14;12)(q24.1;q32.3;q24.1) involving BCL7A, MYC & immunoglobulin gene region associated with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma
- chromosomal translocation t(8;14)(p23.1;q21) involving MFHAS1 with a cryptic exon named '14q21 element' may be a cause of B-cell lymphoma, resulting fusion protein named 'chimeric MASL1' is tumorigenic in nude mice
- chromosomal translocation t(11;14)(q23;q32) involving DDX6 may be a cause of B-cell lymphoma
- chromosomal translocation t(3;14)(q27;q32) involving BCL6 with immunoglobulin gene regions may be a cause of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma
- chromosomal translocation t(3;11)(q27;q23) involving BCL6 with POU2AF1/OBF1 may be a cause of a form of B-cell leukemia
- other implicated genes MIRH1, BMI1
Laboratory
Management
- indolent B-cell lyphomas
- follicular lymphoma, CLL, hairy cell leukemia are observed without therapy until symptomatic[3]
- rituximab + multiagent chemotherapy when symptomayic vs allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
- gastric MALT lymphomas are treated with eradication of H pylori[3]
- follicular lymphoma, CLL, hairy cell leukemia are observed without therapy until symptomatic[3]
- aggressive B-cell lymphomas
- diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, mantle cell lymphomas, Burkitt lymphoma
- combined chemotherapy including rituximab
- prophylaxis for tumor lysis syndrome for Burkitt lymphoma[3]
- diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, mantle cell lymphomas, Burkitt lymphoma
