Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma composed of CD30-positive cells and now recognized as three different entities: primary cutaneous ALCL, primary systemic anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive (ALK+) ALCL and primary ALK-negative (ALK-) ALCL.
In this report, we demonstrate that 5-aza-CdR exhibits high antineoplastic activity against anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), a rare CD30 positive non-Hodgkin lymphoma of T-cell origin.
Chromosomal translocation t(2;5) and the resulting fusion protein nucleophosmin-anaplastic lymphoma kinase (NPM-ALK) are detected in 50% to 70% of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), which is a T/null cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma showing anaplastic morphology with cell surface expression of CD30.
The authors studied cytogenetically a case of CD30+ anaplastic large cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma previously diagnosed as malignant histiocytosis and detected a translocation involving chromosomes 1 and 5, t(1;5)(q32:q35).
Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma characterized by the CD30+ large neoplastic cells and sometimes carries a t(2;5)(p23;q35).
Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) expressing the CD30 antigen is an uncommon subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma characterized by distinct morphological and clinical features.
A novel association, Epstein-Barr virus-positive Ki-1+/CD30+ anaplastic large cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of B-cell phenotype in immunosuppressed renal transplant recipients is reported.
Ki-1 (CD30)-positive, large-cell anaplastic lymphoma (LCAL) is a distinctive subset of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma; morphologically, the neoplastic cells of LCAL may closely resemble Reed-Sternberg cell variants of Hodgkin's disease.
Morphology in Ki-1(CD30)-positive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is correlated with clinical features and the presence of a unique chromosomal abnormality, t(2;5)(p23;q35).
A Ki-1 (CD30)-positive human cell line (Karpas 299) established from a high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, showing a 2;5 translocation and rearrangement of the T-cell receptor beta-chain gene.
