Objective: To explore the clinicopathologic characteristics of 12 cases of primary ovarian lymphoma. Methods: The histomorphology, immunophenotype, in situ hybridization, fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH), diagnostic and differential diagnostic features of 12 patients with primary ovarian lymphoma were analyzed. Results: A diffuse proliferation of large lymphoid cells was seen in cases 1-7. The neoplastic cells typically expressed pan-B-cell markers such as CD20 and PAX5,and the Ki-67 proliferation index was greater than 40%,which led to diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.The tumor cells in cases 8-11 were medium sized and showed a diffuse monotonous pattern of growth. The tumor cells appeared to be cohesive. A so-called starry sky pattern was usually present.The tumor cells typically expressed CD20, BCL6 and CD10, and the tumor cell highly expressed c-myc, and the Ki-67 proliferation index was nearly 100%, and fluorescence in situ hybridization suggested that MYC gene was rearrangeed,which led to diagnosis of Burkitt lymphoma.Case 12 was composed of small sized blast cells with scant bluish-grey cytoplasm. The tumor cells were positive for CD20, CD10, CD34, CD117 and TDT,and was diagnosed as B-lymphoblastic lymphoma. Conclusion: Primary ovarian lymphoma is very rare. The diagnosis, differential diagnosis and histological type of primary ovarian lymphoma needs a constellation of clinical findings, pathological histomorphology, immunohistochemistry and molecular genetics. |
