Immunoglobulin gene rearrangement studies showed a clonal rearrangement of the IGH gene in both HS and DLBCL with identical amplicons, suggesting a shared origin of the neoplastic clones.
We also provide follow-up regarding a previously published case of histiocytic sarcoma with IGH/BCL2 fusion gene in which the patient subsequently developed follicular lymphoma and, later, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
