Overview
Anaplastic large cell lymphoma is an aggressive (fast-growing) type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that is usually of the T-cell type.[1]
Overview
The anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) ALK-positive (Anaplastic Llymphoma Kinase) is a peripheral T-cell lymphoma (non-Hodgkin lymphoma) characterized by the proliferation of CD30-positive T-cells which have an abundant cytoplasm, a pleomorphic nucleus (horseshoe-shaped nucleus), and an eosinophilic paranuclear region.[2] This type of ALK-positive lymphoma is associated with a translocation in the ALK gene [T(2;5)(p23;q35)] which expresses the ALK protein.[3]
Overview
ALK negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a type of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (non-Hodgkin's lymphoma). ALK negative ALCL T-cells express CD30, but not the ALK (Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase) chimeric protein,[3] which explains the difference in clinical outcome compared to that of ALK(+)-ALCL.[4] T-cells in ALK negative ALCL have a chromosomal rearrangement that involves DUSP22 and TP63 gene. ALK negative ALCL patients with DUSP22 mutation have a higher five-year overall survival rate in comparison with ALK positive ALCL.[5]
