Overview
NK cells are CD3 and myloperoxidase negative on their surface. NK cells have germline configuration of T-cell receptor and immunoglobulin genes. NK cells originate from a bipotent NK/T-progenitor cell so they have a lot in common with T cells. NK cells express T-associate markers such as CD2, CD3e, CD7, CD8, CD16, CD56, CD57. Most tumors involve NK cells but also involve T cells as neoplastic cells, that is the main reason of classification as NK/T-cell lymphoma rather than NK-cell lymphoma. the immunophenotype of NK lymphoma cells is classically positive for CD2, CD56, and cytoplasmic CD3 epsilon. they are negative for surface CD3. Unlike normal NK cells, the tumor cells are usually negative for CD7 and CD16. they express cytotoxic granule associated proteins granzyme B, T-cell restricted intracellular antigen (TIA-1), and perforin. NK/T cell lymphoma expressing CD56 is rare but most commonly occurs int he head and neck region, skin, and soft tissue. genes involved in the pathogenesis of extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma include.:HLA DQA1*0501, HLA DQB1*0201. these genes also are relevant with celiac disease.On gross pathology, angiocentric and angiodestructive pattern of growth with associated geographical necrosis and ulceration are characteristic findings of extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma.Coagulative necrosis and apoptotic bodies are frequently encountered., Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type occurs in nasal cavity and upper aerodigestive tract., Extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type affects the nose and facial mid line exhibiting aggressive destruction., on microscopic histopathological analysis, medium sized tumor cells and polymorphic infiltrate of non-neoplastic inflammatory cells are characteristic findings of extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma. the tumor cells are small to medium in size with occasional large and anaplastic forms. the lymphoma cells may be admixed with a polymorphic infiltrate of nonneoplastic inflammatory cells including small lymphocytes, plasma cells, histiocytes, and eosinophils.
Pathophysiology
Physiology
- NK cells are CD3 and myloperoxidase negative on their surface.[1]
- NK cells have germline configuration of T-cell receptor and immunoglobulin genes.[2]
- NK cells originate from a bipotent NK/T-progenitor cell so they have a lot in common with T cells.[3]
- NK cells express T-associate markers such as CD2, CD3e, CD7, CD8, CD16, CD56, CD57.[4]
- Most tumors involve NK cells but also involve T cells as neoplastic cells, that is the main reason of classification as NK/T-cell lymphoma rather than NK-cell lymphoma.[5]
Immunotype
- The immunophenotype of NK lymphoma cells is classically positive for CD2, CD56, and cytoplasmic CD3 epsilon.[6]
- They are negative for surface CD3. Unlike normal NK cells, the tumor cells are usually negative for CD7 and CD16.
- They express cytotoxic granule associated proteins granzyme B, T-cell restricted intracellular antigen (TIA-1), and perforin.
- NK/T cell lymphoma expressing CD56 is rare but most commonly occurs int he head and neck region, skin, and soft tissue.
Genetics
Genes involved in the pathogenesis of extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma include.[7]:
These genes also are relevant with celiac disease.
Gross Pathology
- On gross pathology, angiocentric and angiodestructive pattern of growth with associated geographical necrosis and ulceration are characteristic findings of extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma.[8]
- Coagulative necrosis and apoptotic bodies are frequently encountered.
- Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type occurs in nasal cavity and upper aerodigestive tract.
- Extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type affects the nose and facial mid line exhibiting aggressive destruction.
Microscopic Pathology
- On microscopic histopathological analysis, medium sized tumor cells and polymorphic infiltrate of non-neoplastic inflammatory cells are characteristic findings of extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma.[10]
- The tumor cells are small to medium in size with occasional large and anaplastic forms.
- The lymphoma cells may be admixed with a polymorphic infiltrate of nonneoplastic inflammatory cells including small lymphocytes, plasma cells, histiocytes, and eosinophils.
