  1. Small, Blue, and Somewhat Painful Thoughts on approaching and making sense of lymphoid infiltrates in the GI tract Scott R. Owens, MD

  2. What’s the problem? Unique issues in GI • “Gross” ≈ endoscopic description • Small pieces of tissue • Inflammatory conditions can result in lymphoproliferative disorders… and confound diagnosis – “Acquired MALT” • Normal lymphoid tissue can give rise to lymphoproliferative disorders…and confound diagnosis! – “Native MALT”

  3. Distribution of GI Lymphoma 55-65% Rare! 20-35% 7-20%

  4. About that MALT… Peyer’s patch (native) H. pylori gastritis (acquired)

  5. What’s my approach? • When wondering about a lymphoid infiltrate, I’ve found it’s best to play “DUMB” – D estructive? – U nusual location and/or morphology? – M onotonous? – B ig?

  6. What does normal look like?

  7. Any of these look DUMB to you?

  8. How about this?

  9. DUMB? • D estructive? • U nusual location and/or morphology? • M onotonous? • B ig?

  10. CD20

  11. BCL-2

  12. MALT lymphoma

  13. Here’s another

  14. DUMB? • D estructive? • U nusual location and/or morphology? • M onotonous? • B ig?

  15. CD20

  16. CD5

  17. Cyclin-D1

  18. Mantle cell lymphoma

  19. Next!

  20. DUMB? • D estructive? • U nusual location and/or morphology? • M onotonous? • B ig?

  21. CD20

  22. Diffuse large B cell lymphoma

  23. Tired yet?

  24. DUMB? • D estructive? • U nusual location and/or morphology? • M onotonous? • B ig?

  25. CD20

  26. CD3

  27. BCL-6

  28. CD21

  29. BCL-2

  30. Ki-67

  31. (Large) benign germinal center

  32. Be careful with BCL -2 BCL -2 http://opm.phar.umich.edu/images/proteins/1g5m.gif

  33. What expresses BCL -2? • T - cells • Plasma cells • Normal mantle cells • Primary follicles • Lots of different lymphomas – Including (but not limited to) follicular lymphoma

  34. What should be BCL -2 negative?

  35. My Approach • Use BCL - 2 for cases where differential is reactive follicles vs. follicular lymphoma – Otherwise, must match up staining with T - cells, mantle cells, etc., etc.

  36. Enough, already!

  37. DUMB? • D estructive? • U nusual location and/or morphology? • M onotonous? • B ig?

  38. CD20

  39. Kappa

  40. MALT lymphoma (patient also had it in stomach)

  41. Staining rationale • Small cells: CD3, CD5, CD20, (often) CD43 – Follicular structures?  BCL - 6/CD10, BCL -2 – CD5+, angulated cells, polyps?  cyclin - D1 – Possible plasma cell component?  kappa/lambda – T cells?  (many) more T cell markers • Big cells: CD3, CD20, CD43 – DLBCL?  germinal center vs. activated B cell • Potentially molecular assays for “double hit” lymphoma

  42. DUMB! • D estructive? • U nusual location and/or morphology? • M onotonous? • B ig?

  43. Thank you!
