Abstract
Cytotoxic peripheral T-cell lymphomas and EBV-positive T/NK-cell lymphoproliferative diseases were discussed at the 2022 European Association for Haematopathology/Society for Hematopathology lymphoma workshop held in Florence, Italy. This session focused on (i) primary nodal EBV-positive T and NK-cell lymphomas (primary nodal-EBV-TNKL), (ii) extranodal EBV-positive T/NK lymphoproliferative diseases (LPD) in children and adults, (iii) cytotoxic peripheral T-cell lymphomas, NOS (cPTCL-NOS), EBV-negative, and (iv) miscellaneous cases. Primary nodal-EBV-TNKL is a newly recognized entity which is rare, aggressive, and associated with underlying immune deficiency/immune dysregulation. All cases presented with lymphadenopathy but some demonstrated involvement of tonsil/Waldeyer's ring and extranodal sites. The majority of tumors are of T-cell lineage, and the most frequent mutations involve the epigenetic modifier genes, such as TET2 and DNMT3A, and JAK-STAT genes. A spectrum of EBV-positive T/NK LPD involving extranodal sites were discussed and highlight the diagnostic challenge with primary nodal-EBV-TNKL when these extranodal EBV-positive T/NK LPD cases demonstrate predominant nodal disease either at presentation or during disease progression from chronic active EBV disease. The majority of cPTCL-NOS demonstrated the TBX21 phenotype. Some cases had a background of immunosuppression or immune dysregulation. Interestingly, an unexpected association of cPTCL-NOS, EBV-positive and negative, with TFH lymphomas/LPDs was observed in the workshop cases. Similar to a published literature, the genetic landscape of cPTCL-NOS from the workshop showed frequent mutations in epigenetic modifiers, including TET2 and DNMT3A, suggesting a role of clonal hematopoiesis in the disease pathogenesis.
