[Peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Morphologic, immunophenotypic and immunogenotypic studies of 10 cases].

We describe the histopathology, immunophenotype and immunogenotype of 10 cases of peripheral T-cell lymphoma. The majority of patients showed disseminated disease at the time of diagnosis. From a histopathological view point the cases were classified into 5 types: T zone lymphoma (4 cases); Lennert lymphoma (2 cases); pleomorphic lymphoma, small all type (2 cases); pleomorphic lymphoma of medium-sized cell type (1 case); pleomorphic lymphoma of large cell type (1 case). In most of them the neoplastic cells demonstrated a mature T-cell phenotype: CD3+, CD4+, CD8-, CD43+, CD45RO+, CD45RA-, CD20- and surface immunoglobulins. All cases studied displayed gene rearrangements for the T-cell receptor beta chain while the immunoglobulins genes remained in germinal configuration. Antibodies against the human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I were not found in the 9 samples studied.

Immunophenotype of blast cells in acute myelofibrosis.

The immunophenotype of peripheral blood blast cells from six patients with acute myelofibrosis was studied using a panel of monoclonal antibodies directed against granulocytic, erythroid, megakaryocytic and lymphoid antigenic determinants. In all patients most of the blast cells were labeled with anti-HLA-DR and with the early myelomonocytic antibodies My7 (CD13), My9 (CD33) and B1-3C5 (CD34) (3/3). In three cases, platelet antibodies Edu3 (CD41) and GPIIIa (CD61) reacted with about 30% of blast cells. TdT was positive in two out of six samples studied. Lymphoid markers T3 (CD3), Leu9 (CD7), J5 (CD10), B4 (CD19) and B1 (CD20) were negative in all cases. These results suggest that blast cells are mainly of immature myelocytic origin. However, the coexistence of megakaryoblasts cannot be ruled out in the cases with a proportion of cells that are positive with Edu3 and GPIIIa antibodies.

Acute Disease

Use of monoclonal anti-actin as a megakaryocyte marker in paraffin wax embedded bone marrow biopsy specimens.

Monoclonal anti-actin was used as a marker of megakaryocytes in Zenker's fixed, paraffin wax embedded bone marrow tissue, using an immunoperoxidase staining method. Twenty bone marrow samples were studied, including controls, and different myeloproliferative and myelodysplastic syndromes. The results were compared with those obtained using factor VIII related antigen (F VIII RAg) immunolabelling. Anti-actin is as good a marker for megakaryocytes as anti-FVIIIRAg and is potentially clinically useful when morphological identification is difficult, when bone marrow aspiration is unsuccessful, or when quantitative evaluation of tissue sections is required.

Acute erythroblastic leukemia. Cytological, cytogenetic and phenotypic studies in one case.

We report the clinical, cytological, immunophenotypic, and cytogenetic findings in one patient with acute erythroblastic leukemia. Blast cells were identified by their reactivity with the early erythroid antibodies FA6-152 and carbonic anhydrase I. The leukemic blasts had no specific differentiating features identifying them as erythroblasts even at an ultrastructural level. Cytogenetic studies revealed multiple chromosome aberrations: 45,XX,i(11q),-16,-17,-21,+der(21)t(21;?)(q22;?),+mar 1.
