Cyclin-D1 rearrangement as a secondary event in the large cell transformation of splenic marginal zone lymphoma with a TP53 deletion
摘要
IGH::CCND1 translocation has been implicated as a preliminary finding in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and plasma cell myeloma, with cyclin D1 over-expression by immunohistochemistry stain, without gene rearrangement, reported in other hematologic neoplasms. CCND1 rearrangement has been reported infrequently as a secondary event in high-grade B-cell lymphomas. We present the case of an elderly man who was found to have a splenic marginal zone lymphoma with a heterozygous TP53 deletion. Years later at the time of relapse, the patient acquired a CCND1 rearrangement, in addition to a persistent TP53 deletion. Sequencing of the two lymphomas demonstrated clonal relatedness of the two processes. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a splenic marginal zone lymphoma with a TP53 deletion at diagnosis, evolving into a large B-cell lymphoma with a CCND1 rearrangement.
