Overview

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma may be classified into several subtypes based on immunophenotype, clinical presentation, and histology.

Classification

  • Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (peripheral T-cell lymphoma Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma) may be classified into 2 sub-types: [1]
  • Based on clinical presentations, anaplastic large cell lymphoma may be classified into 3 sub-types:
  • Primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma
  • Primary systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma
  • Nodal anaplastic large cell lymphoma
  • Extra nodal anaplastic large cell lymphoma
  • Implant associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma
  • Based on histology, anaplastic large cell lymphoma may be classified into 3 sub-types:[2]
  • Classical Variants
  • Atypical Variants
  • Rare Variants
Classification based on the clinical presentation
Name Description
Primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma
  • Confined to the skin.
  • Usually a single lump or tumor in the skin.
  • May also spread to lymph nodes in the area.
  • Associated with a rare skin condition called lymphomatoid papulosis.
  • Less aggressive than primary systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
  • Occasionally individuals have a spontaneous remission.
  • Fairly good prognosis
Primary systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma
  • Usually involves the lymph nodes.
  • Can also occur in organs or tissues other than the lymph nodes (extranodal sites) including: lungs, liver, bone marrow, bone, gastrointestinal tract, skin, and soft tissue.
  • Most individuals have advanced stage (stage III or IV) disease when they are diagnosed.
  • Usually a fast-growing (aggressive) lymphoma.
Implant associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma
  • The tumor initially manifests with swelling of the breast due to fluid accumulation around the implant.
  • May progress to invade the tissue surrounding the capsule, and if left untreated may progress to axillary lymph nodes. [3]
Histological Classification [4]
Name Description
Classical Variants
Common pattern
  • ALK positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma
  • Most common morphological variant (75%) [5]
  • In large cells, nucleoli tend to be more prominent.
  • The cytoplasm may be either basophilic or eosinophilic and the cell may have many nuclei with dispersed or clumped chromatin.
  • Given that the lymphomatous cells grow in the lymph node's sinuses, this variant may resemble a metastatic tumor.
Atypical Variants
Small cell
  • ALK positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
  • Cells have nuclear irregularity and perivascular/intravascular distribution.[6]
  • Occasionally, lymphomatous cells have a pale cytoplasm with a central nucleus, described as "fried egg cell".[4]
Lymphohistiocytic
  • ALK positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma
  • Histiocytes have an acidophilic cytoplasm and a perinuclear clear area, with an eccentric nuclei and condensed chromatin.[7]
  • Lymphomatous cells cluster around the perivascular area as demonstrated by immunostaining with CD30 and ALK antibodies.[4]
Giant cell
  • ALK positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma
Hodgkin's like
  • The morphological characteristics of this pattern are similar to the nodular sclerosis variant of Hodgkin's lymphoma.[8]
  • This pattern is predominately more common among females.
  • There are two immunophenotypes:[8][2]
    • Positive: CD30, ALK, epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), CD43 (only 66% of the times), and perforin
    • Negative: CD15, CD20, Pax5/BSAP, and EBV
Rare Variants
Sarcomatoid
  • ALK positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma
