This study aimed to indicate patient outcomes and pathological characteristics of follicular lymphoma (FL) with peripheral blood (PB) involvement. Of 533 patients with FL, 56 (11%) had PB involvement. Of the patients treated with rituximab, 39 patients with PB involvement had significantly shorter progression-free survival than 107 patients with stage IV disease without PB involvement (p = 0.021), but the overall survival was not different (p = 0.804). The histopathology of the primary sites was usually nodal (95%) low-grade (86%) FL with IGH/BCL2 fusion (75%). Flow cytometric and immunohistochemical analyses revealed that the incidence of CD10 positivity was lower in the bone marrow (55% and 58%) and PB (41% and not available) than in the primary site (86% and 93%) (p = 0.004 and p = 0.0001, respectively). Therefore, even if small lymphoma cells in the bone marrow and PB are negative for CD10, FL cannot be ruled out.
本研究旨在阐明伴有外周血(PB)受累的滤泡性淋巴瘤(FL)患者的预后及病理特征。在533例FL患者中,56例(11%)存在PB受累。在接受利妥昔单抗治疗的患者中,39例PB受累患者的无进展生存期显著短于107例IV期无PB受累疾病患者(p = 0.021),但总生存期无差异(p = 0.804)。原发部位的组织病理学通常为淋巴结(95%)、低级别(86%)FL伴IGH/BCL2融合(75%)。流式细胞术和免疫组化分析显示,骨髓(55%和58%)和PB(41%且数据不可用)中CD10阳性的发生率低于原发部位(86%和93%)(分别为p = 0.004和p = 0.0001)。因此,即使骨髓和PB中的小淋巴瘤细胞CD10呈阴性,也不能排除FL。
