80yrs old female was threpine-biopsied due to suspition of MDS with blast access. Clinically: pancytopenia, dominent anemia Hb 69g/l; neuthropenia, mild trhombocitopenia.
BM (will be scaned soon): B FL (~II° PSO?) spred 30%. IH: CD20+; Bcl6+; Bcl2+; CyclinD1/CD23/CD5(-). Fibrosis MF-1. Clinical correlation pending. NOTE: Discordant FL spread sometimes is seen, having transformed FL-DLBCL in periphery.
After that node biopsy was taken. Clinically add: lymphadenopathy and absolute lymphocytosis.
NODE: 3 nodes with paracortical nodules od T zone and inbetween spreading interstitial medium- large cell diffuse infiltrate with ovoid/irregular large nuclei (cb). close to it- nodules/follicles, composed of medium sized cells with wrincled nuclei (cc)
IH: Interestingly, "LARGE CELL DIFFUSE" component different in IH from CC nodules.
SPECIAL QUESTS: 1. Abberant CD5 expression as a sign of aggressiveness or transformation. 2. Difference in IH: FL and DLBCL. 3. Bcl6 and CD10 downregulation in FL.
