Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Other iatrogenic immunodeficiency-associated lymphoproliferative disorders (OIIA-LPD) are rare but well-known diseases that manifest during or after methotrexate (MTX) administration. Limited information is available on the clinical characteristics of OIIA-LPD of the lung because only a few cases have been reported. Thus, we aimed to assess the incidence and prognosis of patients with OIIA-LPD of the lung. METHODS Patients with OIIA-LPD of the lung treated at our institution between January 2008 and July 2020 were retrospectively analysed. RESULTS Among the 51 patients with OIIA-LPD, 16 (31.3%, 7 men, 9 women) had OIIA-LPD of the lung (median age, 69 [range, 63-82] years). Peripheral lesions were observed in 10 (62.5%), central lesions in two (12.5%), and both lesions in four (25.0%) patients. Nine of the 16 patients underwent bronchoscopic biopsy, seven were diagnosed (diagnostic yield, 77.8%) and, re-biopsy was performed in 2 patients. Eight (50.0%) patients had LPD and six (37.5%) had diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. In the 14 patients with confirmed treatment efficacy, the overall response rate to MTX withdrawal was 71.4%. However, chemotherapy was required in case of larger lesions (three patients). Death related to OIIA-LPD occurred in only one patient, and 11 of the 14 patients were alive during the study period (median follow-up time, 53.7 [range, 4.3-84.2] months). CONCLUSION The incidence of OIIA-LPD of the lung is 31.3% and higher than that reported previously. The treatment effect of MTX withdrawal seems to be sufficient; however, in some cases, chemotherapy may be required from the beginning.

Case Report: Intravascular Large B-Cell Lymphoma: A Clinicopathologic Study of Four Cases With Review of Additional 331 Cases in the Literature. Front Oncol 2022; 12:883141. [PMID: 35646671 PMCID: PMC9135977 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.883141] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2022] [Accepted: 03/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare and highly malignant non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma with uncommon clinical presentation and poor prognosis. The diagnostic pitfall of IVLBCL is mainly due to the fact that subtle histological changes could be easily overlooked, in addition to its rare occurrence, non-specific and variable clinical presentations, and the absence of significant mass lesions. The purpose of this study is to further explore the clinicopathologic and molecular features of IVLBCL to ensure an accurate diagnosis of this entity. Here, we retrospectively present the data of the four new cases and the literature cases. The age ranged from 23 to 92, with a medium age of 67 and a male-to-female ratio of 1:1. The clinical manifestations are extremely variable, including fever, night sweats, weight loss, anemia, thrombocytopenia, unexplained hypoxemia, impaired consciousness, and skin lesions, as well as the extremely low levels of serum albumin, high levels of serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL2R), and ferritin. Morphologically, 99.9% of cases showed a selective growth pattern with large, atypical lymphocytes within the lumen of small blood vessels. In addition, vast majority of cases were positive for CD20, CD79a, PAX5, MUM1, and BCL6, and a subset of cases expressed BCL2 and CD5, whereas CD3 and CD10 were typically negative. Ki-67 proliferative index ranged from 20% to 100%. To sum up, we have conducted comprehensive case reports, to the best of our knowledge, this is the largest reported cohort of IVLBCL cases. Comprehensive assessments and more IVLBCL cases are required for early diagnosis and prompt treatment.

Abstract
A 56-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis who had been taking methotrexate (MTX) for six years visited our hospital with dyspnea and dizziness. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed mild splenomegaly. Laboratory examinations showed a marked elevation in soluble interleukin-2 receptor and lactate dehydrogenase levels. These abnormalities revealed a spontaneous regression after MTX discontinuation, however, they worsened again four months later. Skin biopsies revealed a diagnosis of intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL), and we diagnosed MTX-associated IVLBCL (MTX-IVLBCL) based on its characteristic course. Despite the recurrence of IVLBCL, it showed a good response to chemotherapy. MTX-IVLBCL should therefore be treated with consideration since it has different characteristics from that of de novo IVLBCL.
