Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to improve the understanding of lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic syndrome, and find effective methods to identify and manage this fatal disease. METHODS Patients diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic syndrome from January 2008 to December 2022 in our center were included. Univariate and multivariate analyses were also conducted using the Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS Among 26 patients, 22 patients were diagnosed with T/NK cell lymphoma, while 4 patients were diagnosed with diffuse large B cell lymphoma. A total of 16 patients died with a median follow-up of 71 (26, 236) days. Compared with B cell lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic syndrome patients, T/NK cell lymphoma patients are younger, have lower platelet count, fibrinogen concentration, and serum albumin, have higher blood β2-mi-croglobulin levels and ferritin, are more likely to be infected with Epstein-Barr virus, are more inclined have a simultaneously occurrence of lymphoma and hemophagocytic syndrome. In multivariate analysis, fibrinogen, albumin, cholinesterase, uric acid, triglyceride, and ferritin are significantly associated with overall mortality. CONCLUSIONS LAHS is a rare disease with poor prognosis. Early anti-inflammatory treatment combined with anti-lymphoma therapy can improve the overall survival time of patients. Prospective multi-center studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods are needed to further investigate optimal treatment and prognosis.

Abstract
We conducted a retrospective, multicentre study to compare consolidation therapy with or without first-line autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) for peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) patients in a real-world setting. We enrolled 347 PTCL patients who achieved complete response after first-line treatment. Of these, 257 received consolidation chemotherapy (non-ASCT group) and 90 received ASCT (ASCT group). Clinical outcomes were comparable between ASCT and non-ASCT groups. After propensity score matching, the 2-year cumulative incidence of treatment-related mortality and relapse remained similar between groups (1.9% vs. 2.0%, p = 0.985; 24.7% vs. 47.1%, p = 0.021). However, significant differences emerged in progression-free survival and overall survival probabilities. Within the T-cell lymphoma subgroup, ASCT patients exhibited favourable outcomes compared to non-ASCT patients: 2-year progression-free survival (73.4% vs. 50.8%, p = 0.024) and overall survival (92.1% vs. 73.5%, p = 0.021). Notably, no significant differences were observed for patients with NK/T-cell lymphoma. These real-world data suggest that up-front ASCT is a safe and effective consolidation option for PTCL patients in remission, particularly those with T-cell lymphoma.

Abstract
Systemic Epstein-Barr virus-positive T-cell lymphoma of childhood (S-EBV-TCL) is a rare disease for which there is no standard of care. S-EBV-TCL is often associated with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and is generally thought of on the spectrum of EBV-related disease. For the few reported cases of cure in the literature, hematopoietic stem cell transplant has been required because it is the only treatment that has induced complete remission in patients suffering from EBV-associated T-cell or natural killer cell lymphoproliferative diseases, except hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Here, we present the case of one patient who was successfully cured with a modified regimen of dose-adjusted EPOCH (etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin), followed by hematopoietic stem cell transplant using a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ophthalmic lymphomas, a subgroup of extra-nodal lymphomas, have seen an increase in incidence in recent decades. Of these, the NK/T-cell lymphoma (NKTL) subtype is particularly aggressive. Though prevalent mostly in Asian patients, data on ophthalmic NKTL is still limited, especially in the western population. This study aimed to provide an additional analysis of primary ophthalmic NKTL using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on the SEER database covering records from 2000 to 2020. Patients diagnosed with extranodal NKTL originating primarily from an ophthalmic structure were identified. RESULTS Out of 4540 ophthalmic lymphomas registered in the SEER database between 2000 and 2020, 9 cases (0.2%) corresponded to ophthalmic NKTL, occurring in patients with a median age of 67 years. The majority of these patients underwent chemotherapy (88.8%) and radiotherapy (66.6%). The 6-month overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were both at 50.8%, dropping significantly at the 2-year follow-up. CONCLUSION Primary orbital NKTL has a notably severe prognosis. An early diagnosis is important due to the aggressive nature of NKTL.

Abstract
Extranasal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma arising in the heart is rare and typically presents with non-specific clinical symptoms, necessitating a biopsy for a definitive diagnosis. We report an unusual case of a 48-year-old male who initially presented with chest pain and shortness of breath. Subsequent diagnosis via pericardial fluid analysis, including flow cytometry and immunohistochemical stains, revealed extranasal NK/T-cell lymphoma without sinonasal involvement. The analysis identified neoplastic lymphoid cells expressing CD2, cytoplasmic CD3, Epstein-Barr virus, and CD56 and exhibiting increased Ki-67 staining. Additionally, the patient developed hemophagocytosis lymphocytosis secondary to NK/T cell lymphoma. Treatment included an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (anakinra), dexamethasone, rituximab, and etoposide. Unfortunately, the patient's condition rapidly deteriorated, leading to multiorgan failure and eventual demise. Given the rarity of this lymphoma, early diagnosis based on a high suspicion level provides the best chance for improved overall survival.

Abstract
Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is a highly heterogeneous group of mature T-cell malignancies. The efficacy of current first-line treatment is dismal, and novel agents are urgently needed to improve patient outcomes. A close association between the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) pathway and tumor promotion exists, revealing prospective therapeutic targets. This study, investigates the role of the cGAS-STING pathway and its underlying mechanisms in PTCL progression. Single-cell RNA sequencing showes that the cGAS-STING pathway is highly expressed and closely associated with PTCL proliferation. cGAS inhibition suppresses tumor growth and impaires DNA damage repair. Moreover, Cdc2-like kinase 1 (CLK1) is critical for residual tumor cell survival after treatment with cGAS inhibitors, and CLK1 suppression enhances sensitivity to cGAS inhibitors. Single-cell dynamic transcriptomic analysis indicates reduced proliferation-associated nascent RNAs as the underlying mechanism. In first-line therapy, chemotherapy-triggered DNA damage activates the cGAS-STING pathway, and cGAS inhibitors can synergize with chemotherapeutic agents to kill tumors. The cGAS-STING pathway is oncogenic in PTCL, whereas targeting cGAS suppresses tumor growth, and CLK1 may be a sensitivity indicator for cGAS inhibitors. These findings provide a theoretical foundation for optimizing therapeutic strategies for PTCL, especially in patients with relapsed/refractory disease.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors against Programmed Cell Death Protein 1/Programmed Cell (PD-1/PD-L1) and CTLA-4/B7 axes have had limited success in hematologic malignancies, requiring the need to explore alternative targets such as T-cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT)/CD155 to improve durable clinical responses. We undertook this study to investigate the expression profile of TIGIT such that the potential efficacy of TIGIT blockade could be mapped among lymphoma subtypes. We validated an immunohistochemical assay for TIGIT and evaluated its expression in lymphoma and tumor microenvironment (TME) cells in 661 lymphoma/leukemia biopsies. Multiplex immunofluorescence was used for correlation with normal TME cell subsets. Tumor or TME TIGIT-positivity was defined as moderate to strong membrane staining in at least 10% of tumor or TME cells, respectively. TME TIGIT expression was correlated with overall survival and progression-free survival and comparison with PD-L1 expression. In most cases, lymphoma cells were TIGIT-negative except for angioimmunoblastic and peripheral T-cell lymphomas, which showed 91% and 47% positivity, respectively. A high proportion of small B-cell lymphoma and anaplastic large cell lymphoma cases had TIGIT-positive TME cells. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma patients with TIGIT-negative TME cells showed significantly shorter overall survival ( P =0.04). No other statistically significant differences were found. When TIGIT was expressed in TME cells, there were a comparable number of TIGIT-positive only and dual TIGIT/PD-L1 positive cases except for more TIGIT-positive only cases in CLL/SLL. TIGIT expression shows distinctive profiles among lymphoma subtypes. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma and anaplastic large cell lymphoma demonstrated high TME TIGIT expression compared with PD-L1, with a high proportion of dual TIGIT and PD-L1-positivity. Our results are likely to contribute to the design and correlative study of therapeutic response in clinical trials targeting TIGIT alone or in combination with PD1/PDL1.

Abstract
Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) is a malignancy of the lymphoid lineage of the hematopoietic system has worldwide, especially in developed countries. Better diagnostic and recording techniques, longer life expectancy, and greater exposure to risk factors are hypotheses for this growing incidence curve. Occupational exposures to chemical, biological, and physical agents have also been associated with NHL development, but the results are still controversial. We have investigated the occupational and lifestyle case-control study design with 214 adult patients and 452 population controls. Socio-demographic, clinical, and occupational exposure data were obtained through individual interviews with a standardized questionnaire. Clinical, laboratory, and histopathological data were obtained through medical records. Risk of NHL (any subtype), B-cell lymphoma, DLBCL, Follicular lymphoma and T-cell lymphoma was elevated among the those who had ever been exposed to any solvents, hydrocarbon solvents, pesticides, meat and meat products, and sunlight and tended to increase by years of exposure. A significant upward trend with years of exposure was detected for any solvents and hydrocarbon solvents (NHL (any subtype) p-value for trend<0.001), B-cell lymphoma (p-value for trend<0.001), and T-cell lymphoma (p-value for trend<0.023), pesticides (NHL (any subtype), p for trend<0.001) and T-cell lymphoma (p for trend<0.002), meat and meat products (NHL (any subtype) (p for trend<0.001) and DLBCL (p for trend<0.001), and sunlight (B-cell lymphoma (p for trend<0.001). The results of this study agree line with other international studies, can be extrapolated to other countries that have the same socio-demographic and occupational characteristics as Brazil and support strategies for surveillance and control of work-related cancer.

Abstract
Germline mutations in genes involved in perforin-granzyme-mediated cytotoxicity such as PRF1, UNC13D, STX11, and STXBP2 were known to cause familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHL). In this study, we reported a unique group of 3 patients with germline mutations of UNC13D and STX11 genes and presented as adult-onset peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) with cytotoxic T-cell phenotype and atypical lymphoma presentations. CD107a degranulation assay and NK-cell activity analysis demonstrated impaired cytotoxic function of the NK/T-cells of the patients with FHL-related mutations. Gene expression profile study revealed that up-regulated genes of the cytotoxic T-cells were enriched in autoimmune-related pathways. It was possible that impaired cytotoxic lymphocyte-mediated immune surveillance and autoantigen stimulation may both participate in PTCL oncogenesis. Germline defects of FLH-related genes may represent a novel predisposing factor for PTCLs.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to explore the significance and prognostic value of 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-(OH) D) deficiency in peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs). One hundred fifty-six patients of newly diagnosed PTCLs were enrolled in the study. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to determine independent risk factors for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted, and corresponding areas under the curve (AUC) were calculated to estimate the accuracy of International Prognostic Index (IPI) plus 25-(OH) D deficiency and Prognostic Index for T-cell lymphoma (PIT) plus 25-(OH) D deficiency respectively in PTCL risk stratification. Our results showed that the 25-(OH) D deficiency was an independent inferior prognostic factor for both PFS (P = 0.0019) and OS (P = 0.005) for PTCLs, especially for AITL and PTCL-not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS). Additionally, adding 25-(OH) D deficiency to PIT indeed has a superior prognostic significance than PIT alone for PFS (P = 0.043) and OS (P = 0.036). Multivariate COX regression analysis revealed that PIT 2‒4, albumin (ALB) ≤ 35 g/L, and 25-(OH) D deficiency were regarded as independent risk factors of PFS and OS. Our results showed that 25-(OH) D deficiency was associated with inferior survival outcome of PTCLs, especially for AITL and PTCL-NOS. PIT plus 25-(OH) D deficiency could better indicate the prognosis for PFS and OS of PTCLs than PIT.

Abstract
Relapsed/refractory (R/R) peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL) has a poor prognosis, with limited treatment options and generally no durable response. However, long-term remission with the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor romidepsin has been reported, especially in angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma (AITL). Recently, tucidinostat, a novel oral HDAC inhibitor that selectively inhibits class I and class IIb HDACs, was approved for R/R PTCL in China and Japan. We present the case of a patient with AITL whose gastrointestinal symptoms and health-related quality of life improved after switching from romidepsin to tucidinostat as maintenance therapy. Romidepsin and tucidinostat appear to have different safety profiles; non-haematological toxicities such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, anorexia and fatigue may be reported less frequently with tucidinostat than with romidepsin. This case suggests that switching to tucidinostat therapy may be a viable option for patients with PTCL suffering from severe gastrointestinal adverse events with romidepsin.

Abstract
Pfizer/BioNTech (BNT162b2) is a messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine that is highly effective in preventing the most severe outcomes of COVID-19 infection. Nucleoside-modified severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) mRNA vaccines induce effective stimulation of T follicular helper (TFH) cells, leading to a robust germinal center B cell response. Side effects from the BNT162b2 vaccination, including significant lymphadenopathy, have been reported previously. Here, we present a case of angioimmunoblastic lymphoma (AITL), a rare, peripheral T-cell lymphoma with RHOA-G17v-mutated gene developing in a patient following BNT162B2 vaccine with a plausible explanation. A 60-year-old Asian female received her first dose of Pfizer BNT162B2 mRNA vaccine in August 2021. Right after her vaccination, she developed right axillary lymphadenopathy. She received her second vaccine dose in September 2021. Thereafter, she developed lymph node (LN) enlargement in her neck and groin. She underwent left posterior cervical and left groin LN excisional biopsy in April 2022 due to persistent palpable lymphadenopathy. Biopsy results then demonstrated benign follicular hyperplasia. For progressive B symptoms, a right axillary LN biopsy was done, which demonstrated AITL, with molecular studies revealing mutation in TET-2, IDH-2, and RHOA-G17v genes. Progression of AITL following BNT162B2 mRNA vaccine is limited in literature. Our case demonstrates a plausible correlation between the diagnosis of AITL following mRNA vaccination due to the malignant transformation of the TFH cells in patients who have a predisposing mutation of RHOA-17v. Given the rarity of AITL and the heterogeneity of molecular findings, more studies are needed to establish such an association.

Abstract
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a severe hyperinflammatory disease characterized by familial and acquired forms. Here, we present the case of a 26-year-old male patient with relapsed/refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma and concurrent HLH. Whole-exon sequencing revealed germline mutations associated with HLH, including those in critical genes such as CD27 and UNC13D and other germline heterozygous variants (NOTCH2, NOTCH3, IL2RA, TYK2, AGL, CFD, and F13A1). CD107a analyses consistently demonstrated impaired degranulation of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells. Examination of the patient's family pedigree revealed that his father and mother harbored UNC13D and CD27 mutations, respectively; his brother carried the same CD27 heterozygous mutation. However, none of them manifested the disease. Despite the missense mutation of CD27 (c.779C>T; p.Pro260Leu) lacking previous documentation in databases, comprehensive analysis suggested non-pathogenic mutations in the CD27 variant, indicating minimal impact on T- and NK-cell functions. These results ultimately supported the option of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) as a successful curative therapeutic approach. As of this report, the patient has remained free of lymphoma and quiescent HLH 15.2 months post-HSCT. This study underscores the efficacy of genetic tests in identifying significant mutations and confirming their etiologies, providing an early basis for treatment decisions and the selection of suitable transplant donors.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Hydroa vacciniforme (HV) lymphoproliferative disorder is a rare NK/T-cell lymphoma mainly affecting children and with a clinical resemblance to HV, which is mostly reported in Latin American and some Asian countries. Overall, the mature T cell and NK-cell neoplasms are now grouped into 9 families based on diverse concepts: cell of origin/differentiation state, clinical scenario, disease localization, and cytomorphology. HV lymphoproliferative disorder is listed within the group of Ebstein Barr Virus-positive T-cell and NK-cell lymphoid proliferations and lymphomas of childhood according to the fifth edition of the World Health Organization Classification of mature lymphoid neoplasms. We report the extraordinary case of a 22-year-old white woman, native of Spain, first presented in 2016 when she started suffering from recurrent facial edema. Four years later, the disease progressed with lymph node spreading and a fatal outcome. Here, we describe the clinical and histological presentation of the lymphoma throughout its evolution. Cases like this can be difficult to classify posing a real challenge to clinicians and pathologists. So, it is vital to be aware of the rare presentation of this disease to be able to identify the clinical and histological picture to make a correct diagnosis and establish an early treatment.

Abstract
Exome sequencing of in situ tumor samples reveals that mutated genes can predict the prognosis of patients with T-cell lymphoma (TCL). However, how tumor mutation burden (TMB) derived from circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) may stratify TCL patients remains unclear.The plasma ctDNA of 79 newly diagnosed TCL patients from the clinical center is used for targeted exome sequencing, and the exome data of 4035 TCL patients from the Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer (COSMIC) database is obtained for comparison analysis.TCL patients with higher TMB, as evaluated with a panel of 120 genes (panel-TMB120), are associated with poor prognosis. More importantly, COX regression analysis identifies a subset of 13 genes in panel-TMB120, including AP3B1 (Adaptor related protein complex 3 subunit beta 1), ATM (Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated), BCL6 (B cell lymphoma 6), BRAF (B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase), CDKN2B (Cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2B), EPCAM (Epithelial cell adhesion molecule), FBXO11 (F-box protein 11), JAK1 (Janus kinase 1), MDM2 (Murine double minute 2), NF1 (Neurofibromin 1), STAT5B (Signal transducer and activator of transcription 5B), STAT6 (Signal transducer and activator of transcription 6), and TET2 (Tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 2), which are significantly associated with prognosis. Specifically, higher TMB values calculated with these 13 genes (panel-TMB13) are able to significantly predict unfavorable prognosis for these patients. Together, panel-TMB13 and the International Prognostic Index (IPI) are used for risk stratification.Panel-TMB13 is identified, which can predict poor prognosis for TCL patients carrying higher panel-TMB13 scores and suggest that panel-TMB13 may be a potential biomarker for supplement risk stratification of TCL patients.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) are emerging as powerful and versatile regulators of transcriptional programs and distinctive biomarkers of progression of T-cell lymphoma. Their role in the aggressive anaplastic lymphoma kinase-negative (ALK-) subtype of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) has been elucidated only in part. Starting from our previously identified ALCL-associated lncRNA signature and performing digital gene expression profiling of a retrospective cohort of ALCL, we defined an 11 lncRNA signature able to discriminate among ALCL subtypes. We selected a not previously characterized lncRNA, MTAAT, with preferential expression in ALK- ALCL, for molecular and functional studies. We demonstrated that lncRNA MTAAT contributes to an aberrant mitochondrial turnover restraining mitophagy and promoting cellular proliferation. Functionally, lncRNA MTAAT acts as a repressor of a set of genes related to mitochondrial quality control via chromatin reorganization. Collectively, our work demonstrates the transcriptional role of lncRNA MTAAT in orchestrating a complex transcriptional program sustaining the progression of ALK- ALCL.

Abstract
A 78-year-old man was aware of lightheadedness and darkness at a routine outpatient visit, and his blood pressure was declined at 87/51 mmHg. Contrast-enhanced CT scan showed an extravascular leakage image at jejunum. We diagnosed as small intestinal hemorrhage. Because he was in hemorrhagic shock, emergency surgery was performed. A tumor was found coincident with the bleeding site, and partial resection of the small intestine including enlarged lymph nodes was performed. Based on the pathological findings of T-cell origin and positive for serum anti-HTLV-1 antibody, he was suspected as adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma(ATLL). Endoscopic examination of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tracts, bone marrow examination, and PET-CT scan were performed, but no other lesions were found. We report a case of the T-cell lymphoma with suspected solitary ATLL of the jejunum.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe the levels of soluble programmed cell death protein 1 (sPD-1) and soluble programmed cell death ligand 1 (sPD-L1) in peripheral blood of lymphoma patients, and reveal their clinical significances. METHODS The peripheral blood specimens and clinical data of 64 newly diagnosed lymphoma patients and 30 healthy volunteers were collected. The levels of sPD-1 and sPD-L1 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and their correlations with clinical characteristics of the patients including pathological type, stage, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level, T cell subsets were analyzed. RESULTS The levels of both sPD-1 and sPD-L1 in peripheral blood of lymphoma patients were higher than those of normal controls (P <0.05). There were no significant differences in sPD-1 and sPD-L1 levels in peripheral blood between Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients. Different pathological subtypes of lymphoma had different levels of sPD-1. The level of sPD-1 in patients with T-cell lymphoma was higher than that in patients with B-cell lymphoma (P =0.001). The levels of both sPD-1 and sPD-L1 in patients with Ann Arbor stage III and IV were higher than those in patients with stage I and II (P <0.05). The level of sPD-L1 in patients with abnormally increased LDH was higher than that in patients with normal LDH (P =0.001), but there was no significant difference in sPD-1 level. T cell subset analysis showed that the level of sPD-L1 was negatively correlated to CD4+ T cell content (r =-0.265). CONCLUSION The levels of sPD-1 and sPD-L1 in peripheral blood of lymphoma patients are related to the pathological type, Ann Arbor stage, LDH content and T cell subsets, and will be potential biomarkers in predicting the prognosis of lymphoma.

Abstract
Vitamin D insufficiency has been linked to unfavourable outcomes in diverse malignancies. However, the prognostic significance of vitamin D levels in peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) remains unclear. In this study, we thus aimed to assess the prognostic relevance of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels in patients newly diagnosed with PTCL. The analysis included 144 patients with PTCL treated from March 2015 to May 2020. The median 25(OH)D level was 12.2 (1.7-48.8) ng/mL, and 59 (41%) patients had vitamin D deficiency. Patients with vitamin D deficiency demonstrated significantly worse event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS). In the multivariate analysis, vitamin D was independently associated with OS, with a hazard ratio of 1.66 (95% confidence interval, 1.05-2.63, p = 0.030). These findings suggest that vitamin D deficiency significantly correlates with poor survival outcomes in patients with PTCL.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) is a rare, highly heterogeneous group of mature T-cell neoplasms that historically has been associated with poor outcomes. We sought to investigate the influence of primary disease site on PTCL-NOS outcomes using a large national cancer registry. METHODS Baseline clinical and demographic data including primary organ of involvement and Ann Arbor disease stage were extracted from the SEER database. Patients were grouped into nine organ system groups and compared to nodal disease acting as a control. Cox regression models were utilized for adjusted survival analyses. RESULTS A total of 3095 patients were identified in the SEER database and included in the final analysis. The median age was 61 and a majority of patients were male (60%) and identified as non-Hispanic white (68%). A plurality of patients had stage IV disease (32%). Lymph nodes and spleen were the most common primary disease sites (67%), while central nervous system was the least common (1%). Patients with early-stage PTCL-NOS of the gastrointestinal/genitourinary systems had worse overall survival [HR = 1.97 (1.50-2.59); p < 0.001] and lymphoma-specific survival [HR = 1.74 (1.26-2.40); p < 0.001] which was statistically significant even after adjusting for other variables. Early-stage PTCL-NOS of the central nervous system also had worse overall survival [HR = 1.90 (1.11-3.27); p = 0.020] and lymphoma-specific survival [HR = 2.11 (1.17-3.80); p = 0.013]. Early-stage PTCL-NOS of the skin had better overall survival [HR = 0.54 (0.42-0.68); p < 0.001] and lymphoma-specific survival [HR = 0.388 (0.28-0.53); p < 0.001] which was statistically significant even after adjustments. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest an association between primary organ involved by PTCL-NOS and both overall and lymphoma-specific survival even after adjusting for common variables. These results warrant validation in future prospective studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is the 6th most common malignancy in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), little is known about its management and outcome. Herein, we examined treatment patterns and survival among NHL patients. METHODS We obtained a random sample of adult patients diagnosed between 2011 and 2015 from 11 population-based cancer registries in 10 SSA countries. Descriptive statistics for lymphoma-directed therapy (LDT) and degree of concordance with National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines were calculated, and survival rates were estimated. FINDINGS Of 516 patients included in the study, sub-classification was available for 42.1% (121 high-grade and 64 low-grade B-cell lymphoma, 15 T-cell lymphoma and 17 otherwise sub-classified NHL), whilst the remaining 57.9% were unclassified. Any LDT was identified for 195 of all patients (37.8%). NCCN guideline-recommended treatment was initiated in 21 patients. This corresponds to 4.1% of all 516 patients, and to 11.7% of 180 patients with sub-classified B-cell lymphoma and NCCN guidelines available. Deviations from guideline-recommended treatment were initiated in another 49 (9.5% of 516, 27.2% of 180). By registry, the proportion of all patients receiving guideline-concordant LDT ranged from 30.8% in Namibia to 0% in Maputo and Bamako. Concordance with treatment recommendations was not assessable in 75.1% of patients (records not traced (43.2%), traced but no sub-classification identified (27.8%), traced but no guidelines available (4.1%)). By registry, diagnostic work-up was in part importantly limited, thus impeding guideline evaluation significantly. Overall 1-year survival was 61.2% (95%CI 55.3%-67.1%). Poor ECOG performance status, advanced stage, less than 5 cycles and absence of chemo (immuno-) therapy were associated with unfavorable survival, while HIV status, age, and gender did not impact survival. In diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, initiation of guideline-concordant treatment was associated with favorable survival. INTERPRETATION This study shows that a majority of NHL patients in SSA are untreated or undertreated, resulting in unfavorable survival. Investments in enhanced diagnostic services, provision of chemo(immuno-)therapy and supportive care will likely improve outcomes in the region.

Abstract
The PDCD1-encoded immune checkpoint receptor PD-1 is a key tumor suppressor in T cells that is recurrently inactivated in T cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (T-NHLs). The highest frequencies of PDCD1 deletions are detected in advanced disease, predicting inferior prognosis. However, the tumor-suppressive mechanisms of PD-1 signaling remain unknown. Here, using tractable mouse models for T-NHL and primary patient samples, we demonstrate that PD-1 signaling suppresses T cell malignancy by restricting glycolytic energy and acetyl coenzyme A (CoA) production. In addition, PD-1 inactivation enforces ATP citrate lyase (ACLY) activity, which generates extramitochondrial acetyl-CoA for histone acetylation to enable hyperactivity of activating protein 1 (AP-1) transcription factors. Conversely, pharmacological ACLY inhibition impedes aberrant AP-1 signaling in PD-1-deficient T-NHLs and is toxic to these cancers. Our data uncover genotype-specific vulnerabilities in PDCD1-mutated T-NHL and identify PD-1 as regulator of AP-1 activity.

Abstract
Nodal peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) with a T follicular helper phenotype (PTCL-TFH) is a new type of PTCL. We aimed to define its clinical characteristics and prognosis compared to PTCL not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL). This retrospective observational study included 175 patients diagnosed with PTCL between 2008 and 2013 in 13 Spanish sites. Patient diagnosis was centrally reviewed, and patients were reclassified according to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2016 criteria: 21 patients as PTCL-NOS, 55 as AITL and 23 as PTCL-TFH. Median follow-up was 56.07 months (95% CI 38.7-73.4). Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were significantly higher in patients with PTCL-TFH than in those with PTCL-NOS and AITL (PFS, 24.6 months vs. 4.6 and 7.8 months, respectively, p = 0.002; OS, 52.6 months vs. 10.0 and 19.3 months, respectively, p < 0.001). Histological diagnosis maintained an independent influence on both PFS (hazard ratio [HR] 4.1 vs. PTCL-NOS, p = 0.008; HR 2.6 vs. AITL, p = 0.047) and OS (HR 5.7 vs. PTCL-NOS, p = 0.004; HR 2.6 vs. AITL, p = 0.096), regardless of the International Prognostic Index. These results suggest that PTCL-TFH could have more favourable features and prognosis than the other PTCL subtypes, although larger series are needed to corroborate these findings.

Abstract
A 25-year-old, 7-month pregnant woman presented with rapidly progressive multiple ulcerated nodules present for 5 months on her left thigh. The lesions began as small red-colored papules, becoming nodular within few days. Initially, she was treated with systemic antibiotics and analgesics, and later a local physician performed incision and drainage. The lesions further increased, becoming indurated and ulcerated. Two months after her delivery, the lesions had extended to the middle of the medial side of her left thigh. On admission, she had a history of fever and weight loss, but there was no trauma. She delivered a full-term healthy baby boy. Past and family history was not significant. Examination revealed 15-20 ill-defined, erythematous, immobile, and irregular nodules of varying sizes, measuring 4 × 5 cm2, and extending from the inguinal region to the middle portion on medial aspect of the left thigh (Figure 1). Some of the nodules ulcerated with yellow color discharge with crusting, attributed to secondary bacterial infection. Multiple palpable and matted inguinal lymph nodes were present in the left inguinal region.

Abstract
Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are a rare subset of non-Hodgkin lymphomas that often carry significant difficulty in diagnosis and classification because of their rarity and biological complexity. Previous editions of the World Health Organization (WHO) classifications of hemopoietic neoplasms in 2001, 2008, and 2017 aimed to standardize hemopoietic neoplasm diagnosis in general. Since then, crucial clinico-pathological, immunophenotypic, and recent molecular discoveries have been made in the field of lymphomas, contributing to refining diagnostic criteria of several diseases, upgrading entities previously defined as provisional, and identifying new entities. In 2022, two different models were proposed to classify hematolymphoid neoplasms: the 5th edition of the WHO classification (WHO-HAEM5) and the International Consensus Classification (ICC). Of note, a common nosography is mandatory to ensure progress in health science and ensure the basis for a real precision medicine. In this article, the authors summarized the main differences with the previous fourth WHO edition and reviewed the main discrepancies between the two newest classifications, as far as PTCLs are concerned.

Abstract
Previous studies on the prognostic value of soluble programmed cell death ligand 1 (sPD-L1) in lymphoma patients have yielded inconsistent results. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis and systematic review to investigate the prognostic significance of sPD-L1 in lymphoma, especially in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and NK/T-cell lymphoma (NK/TCL). A total of 11 studies with 1185 patients were included in the meta-analysis, and the combined results indicated that high sPD-L1 levels were associated with worse overall survival (OS) (HR = 2.27, 95%CI: 1.70-3.04) and progression-free survival (PFS) (HR = 2.68, 95%CI: 1.92-3.75). Furthermore, subgroup analysis showed that sPD-L1 remained a significant prognostic factor for OS. The meta-analysis indicated that sPD-L1 may be a potential prognostic biomarker for lymphoma, especially in DLBCL and NK/TCL, and high sPD-L1 levels were associated with worse survival prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic lymphoproliferative disorders of natural killer cells (CLPD-NK) is a rare lymphoproliferative disease. Peripheral neuropathy is an unusual symptom of CLPD-NK. We report a case of peripheral neuropathy associated with CLPD-NK and perform a review of literatures. CASE PRESENTATION a 62-year-old woman presented with progressive numbness and weakness in both extremities. Electrophysiological examinations indicated a sensorimotor polyneuropathy. Peripheral blood examination revealed that the number of white blood cells (WBC) and lymphocytes were significantly increased. Flow cytometry analysis identified that 84% of the lymphocytes are NK cells that mainly expressed CD56, combined with variable expression of CD16, CD2, CD7, CD94, granzyme B, perforin, and CD158 but negative for CD3. Sural nerve biopsy revealed that a plethora of NK cells infiltrated into nerve fascicles. On treatment with combined cyclophosphamide and corticosteroids, her symptoms rapidly improved. Moreover, the absolute lymphocyte count and its proportion recovered to normal range after 3 months' treatment. CONCLUSION To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of peripheral neuropathy associated with CLPD-NK from Chinese. This rare lymphoproliferative disease should be considered if peripheral neuropathy combines with increased WBC or lymphocytes. Immunosuppressive drugs are the major treatment and most patients can achieve a good prognosis.

Abstract
A challenge when targeting T-cell lymphoma with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is that target antigens are often shared between T cells and tumor cells, resulting in fratricide between CAR T cells and on-target cytotoxicity on normal T cells. CC chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) is highly expressed in many mature T-cell malignancies, such as adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), and has a unique expression profile in normal T cells. CCR4 is predominantly expressed by type-2 and type-17 helper T cells (Th2 and Th17) and regulatory T cells (Treg), but it is rarely expressed by other T helper (Th) subsets and CD8+ cells. Although fratricide in CAR T cells is generally thought to be detrimental to anticancer functions, in this study, we demonstrated that anti-CCR4 CAR T cells specifically depleted Th2 and Tregs, while sparing CD8+ and Th1 T cells. Moreover, fratricide increased the percentage of CAR+ T cells in the final product. CCR4-CAR T cells were characterized by high transduction efficiency, robust T-cell expansion, and rapid fratricidal depletion of CCR4-positive T cells during CAR transduction and expansion. Furthermore, mogamulizumab-based CCR4-CAR T cells induced superior antitumor efficacy and long-term remission in mice engrafted with human T-cell lymphoma cells. In summary, CCR4-depleted anti-CCR4 CAR T cells are enriched in Th1 and CD8+ T cells and exhibit high antitumor efficacy against CCR4-expressing T-cell malignancies.

Abstract
Aims The differential diagnosis between ALK-negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALK- ALCL) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL, NOS) with high expression of CD30 (CD30high) are essential. However, no reliable biomarker is available in daily practice except CD30. STAT3 is characteristically activated in ALCL. We aimed to investigate whether the status of STAT3 phosphorylation could help the differential diagnosis. Methods The status of phosphorylation of STAT3 was examined using two antibodies against pSTAT3-Y705 and pSTAT3-S727 by immunohistochemistry in ALK+ ALCL (n=33), ALK- ALCL (n=22) and PTCL, NOS (n=34). Ten PTCL, NOS with diffuse CD30 expression were defined as CD30high PTCL, NOS. Flowcytometric analysis were performed to evaluate the expression of pSTAT3-Y705/S727 in PTCL, NOS (n=3). Results The median H-scores of pSTAT3-Y705 and S727 were 280 and 260 in ALK+ ALCL, 250 and 240 in ALK- ALCL, and 45 and 75 in CD30high subgroup, respectively. Using H score of 145 as the cutoff value, pSTAT3-S727 alone distinguished between ALK- ALCL and CD30high PTCL, NOS with a sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 83%. Additionally, pSTAT3-S727, but not pSTAT3-Y705, was also expressed by background tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (S727TILs) in PTCL, NOS. PTCL, NOS patients with high S727TILs H score had a favorable prognosis than those with no TILs (3-year OS rate: 43% vs. 0, p=0.013) or low S727TILs (3-year OS rate: 43% vs. 0, p=0.099). Flowcytometric analysis revealed that of the three patients investigated, two had enhanced pSTAT-S727 signals in neoplastic cell populations, and all three patients were negative for pSTAT3-Y705 expression in both tumor cells and background lymphocytes. Conclusions pSTAT3-Y705/S727 can be used to help distinguish ALK- ALCL from CD30high PTCL, NOS and pSTAT3-S727 expression by TILs predicts the prognosis of a subset of PTCL, NOS.

Abstract
Background T cell lymphomas (TCL) are a group of heterogeneous diseases with over 40 subtypes. In this study, we identified a novel TCL subtype which was featured by a unique T cell receptor (TCR) presentation, α, β and γ chains were co-existing in a single malignant T cell. Case presentation A 45-year-old male patient was diagnosed T cell lymphoma after 2-month of abdominal distension and liver enlargement. Combining histology review, PET-CT scanning and immunophenotyes, the patient was not classified to any existing TCL subtypes. To better understand this unclassified TCL case, we performed single cell RNA sequencing paired with TCR sequencing on the patient's PBMC and bone marrow samples. To our surprise, we identified that the malignant T cells had a very rare TCR combination, by expressing two α chains, one β chain and one γ chain simultaneously. We further studied the molecular pathogenesis and tumor cell heterogeneity of this rare TCL subtype. A set of potential therapeutic targets were identified from the transcriptome data, such as CCL5, KLRG1 and CD38. Conclusions We identified the first TCL case co-expressing α, β and γ chains and dissected its molecular pathogenesis, providing valuable information for precision medicine options for this novel TCL subtype.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the disease characteristics and survival of patients with ocular adnexal T-cell lymphoma. METHODS A retrospective, observational study of patients with a histopathological diagnosis of T-cell lymphoma of the ocular adnexa seen between 1992 and 2022. Demographic data, clinical presentation, imaging, histology, immunohistochemistry, treatment, and outcomes were reviewed. RESULTS Fifteen patients were included in the study with the mean age at diagnosis of 50 years old (range 7-85). The most common presenting symptoms were ulcerated eyelid skin lesions (40%) followed by eyelid swelling (13.3%), and lacrimal passageways obstruction (13.3%). The anaplastic large cell lymphoma (33%) and primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (33%) were the most diagnosed peripheral T-cell lymphoma subtypes, followed by the nasal type natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (27%) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (7%). The most prevalent stage of disease progression was stage I and stage IV (Ann Arbor classification) with seven (47%) patients each. Eight (53%) patients succumbed to the disease process of which three (37.5%) deceased in the first six months and six (75%) within the first year of diagnosis. We identified a strong statistical association between stage and disease-related death ( p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS Peripheral T-cell lymphoma occurring in the orbit and ocular adnexa is extremely rare. Advanced stage at diagnosis leads to almost certain death from the disease despite aggressive local and systemic treatment. Early diagnosis improves the chances of survival but can be hindered by this condition's ability to simulate benign inflammatory conditions both clinically and histologically.

Abstract
PURPOSE Anti-PD-1 antibody (anti-PD-1 mAb) showed favorable outcomes in some patients with relapsed/refractory (r/r) extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL). However, the role of anti-PD-1 antibody in NK/T-cell lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (NK/T-LAHS) remains unclear. Here, we evaluated the efficacy and toxicity of anti-PD-1 antibody-based treatment in NK/T-LAHS patients. METHODS The clinical data of 98 patients diagnosed with NK/T-LAHS at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center and the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Pharmaceutical University from May 2014 to November 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients received anti-HLH [HLH-2004 (etoposide, dexamethasone, cyclosporine A) or DEP-based (liposomal doxorubicin, etoposide, methylprednisolone)] regimen and sequential anti-ENKTL chemotherapy (ChT) combined with anti-PD-1 antibody or not. RESULTS The overall response rate (ORR) of the anti-PD-1 mAb plus ChT regimens was higher than that of the ChT regimens (73.3% vs. 45.5%, P = 0.041). The toxicity of the anti-PD-1 mAb plus ChT regimens was tolerable. Except for higher rate of neutropenia, no significant difference in adverse events (AEs) was observed between the two groups. When the optimal response to anti-ENKTL was achieved, the median EBV DNA levels in patients who received anti-PD-1 mAb plus ChT were significantly lower than patients who received ChT only (878 copies/mL vs. 18,600 copies/mL, P = 0.001). With a median follow-up of 26.6 months (range 0-65.9 months), the median overall survival (mOS) was 3.5 months (95% CI:2.3-4.7 months). Patients treated with anti-PD-1 mAb plus ChT experienced a longer mOS than those who received ChT only [5.2 months (95% CI: 2.5-7.8 months) vs. 1.5 months (95% CI: 0.5-2.6 months), P = 0.002]. Cox multivariate analysis found that anti-PD-1 mAb was an independent prognostic factor for all NK/T-LAHS patients. CONCLUSION In conclusion, anti-PD-1 mAb combined with ChT regimens seemed to be associated with prolonged survival in NK/T-LAHS patients and may represent a potentially promising treatment strategy for this population.

Abstract
Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a rare non-Hodgkin T-cell lymphoma characterized by a cluster of differentiation-30 positivity. Subtypes are characterized by positive or negative anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) expression. ALCLs account for about 10% to 15% of all pediatric non-Hodgkin lymphomas and more than 90% of the cases are ALK-positive. We report a rare case of pediatric systemic ALK-negative ALCL with an atypical presentation as a painful breast mass. Despite the general benign features of most pediatric breast masses, it is important to consider malignant systemic diagnoses like the one reported here.

Abstract
Gammaherpesviruses (γHVs) include viruses that can induce lymphoproliferative diseases and tumors. These viruses can persist in the long term in the absence of any pathological manifestation in their natural host. Alcelaphine gammaherpesvirus 1 (AlHV-1) belongs to the genus Macavirus and asymptomatically infects its natural host, the wildebeest (Connochaetes spp.). However, when transmitted to several susceptible species belonging to the order Artiodactyla, AlHV-1 is responsible for the induction of a lethal lymphoproliferative disease, named wildebeest-derived malignant catarrhal fever (WD-MCF). Understanding the pathogenic mechanisms responsible for the induction of WD-MCF is important to better control the risks of transmission and disease development in susceptible species. The aim of this review is to synthesize the current knowledge on WD-MCF with a particular focus on the mechanisms by which AlHV-1 induces the disease. We discuss the potential mechanisms of pathogenesis from viral entry into the host to the maintenance of viral genomes in infected CD8+ T lymphocytes, and we present current hypotheses to explain how AlHV-1 infection induces a peripheral T cell lymphoma-like disease.

Abstract
Introduction Most T cell receptor (TCR)Vβ chain-expressing T cell lymphomas (TCL) including those caused by Human T cell leukaemia virus type-1 (HTLV-1) have poor prognosis. We hypothesised that chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-mediated targeting of the clonal, lymphoma-associated TCRβ chains would comprise an effective cell therapy for TCL that would minimally impact the physiological TCR repertoire. Methods As proof of concept, we generated CAR constructs to target four TCRVβ subunits. Efficacy of the CAR constructs was tested using conventional T cells as effectors (CAR-T). Since invariant NKT (iNKT) cell do not incite acute graft-versus-host disease and are suitable for 'off-the-shelf' immunotherapy, we generated anti-TCRVβ CAR-iNKT cells. Results We show that anti-TCRVβ CAR-T cells selectively kill their cognate tumour targets while leaving >90% of the physiological TCR repertoire intact. CAR-iNKT cells inhibited the growth of TCL in vivo, and were also selectively active against malignant cells from Adult T cell leukaemia/lymphoma patients without activating expression of HTLV-1. Discussion Thus we provide proof-of-concept for effective and selective anti-TCRVβ CAR-T and -iNKT cell-based therapy of TCL with the latter providing the option for 'off-the-shelf' immunotherapy.

Abstract
RATIONALE Monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma, formerly known as enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma, is an extremely rare, aggressive peripheral extranodal T-cell lymphoma, that is infrequent in native European and Caucasian populations. The current study presents the clinicopathological features, diagnostic approach, and clinical outcomes of this rare entity of lymphoma and highlights the importance of the early diagnosis of monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma (MEITL). PATIENT CONCERNS Main symptoms and/or important clinical findings: We present the case of a 69-year-old male patient presenting with an abdominal mass, intestinal transit disorder, and weight loss. The abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed features suggestive of a malignancy. Following clinical and imaging investigations, surgical resection of the small intestine with other areas of involvement has been performed and further to the histopathological examination and immunohistochemical testing are mandatory. DIAGNOSES AND INTERVENTIONS Histopathological evaluation of the tumor revealed a proliferation of medium- to large-sized monomorphic lymphocytes, with vesicular nuclei, prominent nucleoli, and a moderate amount of clear to pale eosinophilic cytoplasm, with an association of infrequent Reed-Sternberg-like cells. Immunohistochemical assessment of the aforementioned tumor using CD3, CD8, CD5, CD20, and CD30 confirmed the T cell proliferation line and the monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma diagnosis. LESSONS The current report highlights the importance of early diagnosis of MEITL owing to its poor prognosis and presents histopathological features that help distinguish MEITL from inflammatory bowel diseases and less aggressive T-cell lymphomas.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Nasal-type extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) rarely involves the vocal cord. Herein, we present a case of an ENKTL patient with vocal cord involvement revealed by FDG PET/CT. Nasopharyngoscopy showed a neoplasm in the larynx, which was eventually confirmed as ENKTL by immunohistochemical results. PET/CT was subsequently performed for staging, and intense FDG uptake in the left side of vocal cord suggested ENKTL involvement.

Abstract
A 57-year-old woman was admitted to hospital with fever. She still had fever treated with multiple antibiotics, and no definite evidence for infection was found. Hypothermia and hypotension developed, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination showed enlarged anterior pituitary and multiple small nodular lesions with mild enhancement on the left side. Hormone replacement and anti-infection treatment were administrated, but fever did not improve. Remarkable lymphadenopathy was found in left supraclavicular area. The pathology of lymph node biopsy indicated peripheral T-cell lymphoma (not otherwise specified, NOS). Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) revealed hypermetabolism in multiple lymph nodes, infiltration of the liver and spleen. The final diagnosis were peripheral T-cell lymphoma with involvement of liver and spleen (stage Ⅳ) and anterior hypopituitarism. After chemotherapy, fever alleviated and the function of anterior pituitary recovered gradually.

Abstract
BCL11B is an essential transcription factor for T-cell lineage commitment and differentiation, and its dysregulation has been shown to be associated with T-cell tumourigenesis. In this study, we investigated BCL11B expression by immunohistochemical analysis in 120 cases of mature T-cell lymphoma, 34 B-cell lymphomas, 11 NK-cell neoplasms and 17 reactive cutaneous conditions. All cases of mycosis fungoides (n=23), primary cutaneous CD4+ small/medium T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder (n=8) and T-prolymphocytic leukaemia (n=6) were positive for BCL11B and the staining intensity was higher than that of reactive T-cells. Fourteen of 15 (93%) cases of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, 10 of 12 (83%) T-large granular lymphocytic leukaemia and 14 of 20 (70%) peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified, were also positive for BCL11B with an intensity comparable to reactive T-cells. Other T-cell neoplasms were uncommonly positive including one of three (33%) cases of primary cutaneous gamma delta T-cell lymphoma, one of four (25%) cases of subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma, one of four (25%) cases of hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma, and one of 20 (5%) cases of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (8 ALK-positive, 12 ALK-negative). T-cells in reactive cutaneous infiltrates were also positive for BCL11B, but staining intensity was much weaker than in mycosis fungoides. All NK-cell (n=11) and B-cell neoplasms (n=34) were negative for BCL11B. In conclusion, BCL11B shows a distinct expression pattern in various T-cell neoplasms. BCL11B appears to have utility as another T-cell marker and may be useful in the differential diagnosis of lymphoid neoplasms.

Abstract
ABSTRACT We present a case of rib osteoblastoma in a patient with NK/T cell lymphoma. Osteoblastoma was incidentally found in a 63-year-old man in the axillary segment of the fifth rib and was misdiagnosed as lymphomatous involvement on staging 18F-FDG PET/CT. The radiological features in the CT component of PET/CT were atypical. After surgery, the diagnosis of osteoblastoma was confirmed by histopathologic findings.
