Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma
  • Amanda F. Cashen, M.D.
  • Grand Rounds 5/7/04

Clinical Presentation
  • 19 yo woman at 26 weeks gestation presented with
    a scalp mass and right neck LAD. The mass on her
    scalp had been increasing in size for 2 mo. and
    was painful. Her PMD found the LAD 1 mo. prior
    it had not improved with antibiotics.
  • Other sx included headache, weight loss of 4 lbs
    in week prior to presentation, occasional low
    grade fever

    over left parietal area and a second, smaller
    mass just anterior 6x6 cm right submandibular
    mass

Radiology
  • MRI Subcutaneous scalp mass measuring 7.2 x 2.8
    cm. The mass extends through the calvarium into
    the extradural compartment, depressing the
    frontal lobe. A mild amount of associated brain
    edema is present. No other mass lesions are
    seen.
  • Neck CT Multiple enlarged lymph nodes in the
    right internal jugular chain and spinal accessory
    chain extending inferiorly to the thoracic inlet
    and right SC region. The largest node measures
    2.7 x 3.4 cm. Multiple subcentimeter lymph nodes
    in the left internal jugular, spinal accessory
    and SC chains.
  • Chest/Abd/Pelvis CT No LAD

7
Pathology
  • Submandibular lymph node
  • Small specimen with large area of necrosis
  • Neoplastic cells are CD45, CD30, CD45RO, and EMA
    positive.
  • CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD20, CD79A, CD57, bcl2,
    bcl6, and cytokeratin are negative.
  • ALK negative
  • Favor diagnosis of anaplastic large cell lymphoma

Systemic ALCL
  • ALCL was first described in 1985 as a lymphoma
    with proliferation of large pleomorphic cells
    expressing CD30 (Ki-1)
  • t(25)(p23 q35) described in ALCL in 1989,
    breakpoints cloned in 1994

13
t(25)
  • Present in 1/3 of ALCL
  • Fusion of nucleophosmin (NPM) on chromosome 5 to
    the catalytic domain of anaplastic lymphoma
    kinase (ALK) on chromosome 2
  • NPM ubiquitously expressed protein that
    shuttles ribosomal components between the nucleus
    and cytoplasm
  • ALK tyrosine kinase receptor with homology to
    the insulin receptor kinase subfamily
  • Expressed in the CNS but not in normal lymphoid
    cells
  • Transmembrane and extracellular domains are not
    included in the NPM-ALK chimeric protein

14
t(25)
  • Transforming capability of the fusion protein has
    been demonstrated Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 1996
    934181
  • NPM-ALK localized to the nucleus and cytoplasm
  • Detected by IHC with an antibody to the
    cytoplasmic domain of ALK

15
Other translocations that lead to ALK expression
16
Systemic ALCL
  • 3 of adult NHL and 10-30 of childhood lymphoma
  • Bimodal age distributionlarger peak in 2nd and
    3rd decades, smaller peak in 6th and 7th decades
  • ALK ALCL has strong male predominance (6.51)
  • ALK- ALCL more prevalent in adults

17
Clinical Features
  • Most patients present with Stage III-IV disease
  • Most common presenting sign is generalized
    lymphadenopathy
  • B-symptoms common, especially fever
  • Extranodal involvement is common
  • Skin (21) -Lung (11)
  • Bone (17) -Liver (8)
  • Soft tissue (17) -CNS involvement is rare
  • Bone marrow involvement is reportedly rare, but
    present in 30 if sensitive methods used
    (staining for CD30 or ALK)

18
Is ALK ALCL a phenotypic variant or a different
disease?
  • ALK ALCL
  • Median age 16-30
  • Extranodal involvement less common
  • 5-year OS 71-93
  • ALK- ALCL
  • Median age 43-61
  • Involvement of 1 extranodal site more common
  • 5 year OS 30-37

At the least, ALK positivity is an important
prognostic factor.

Immunophenotype
  • CD30
  • ALK in 30-85 of cases
  • T-cell markers
  • CD3 negative in gt 75
  • CD5, CD7, CD8 negative
  • CD2, CD4 positive
  • Variably CD45
  • Presumed cell of originactivated extrafollicular
    CD30 lymphocyte

Treatment of ALCL
22
PrognosisIs it different than DLCL?
Comparison of 146 adult patients with primary
ALCL to 1,695 patients with nonanaplastic DLCL
(patients enrolled in GELA study of treatment for
newly diagnosed aggressive NHL)
  • CR rate 75 in ALCL group, 61 in non-ALCL group
    (P lt .001)
  • 5-yr. OS 66 in ALCL group, 48 in non-ALCL group
    (P .0004)

    weakness. New left frontal lobe lesion on
    MRIcentered at a sulcus, suggesting
    leptomeningeal origin with extension into the
    parenchyma surrounding edema measures 3.8 x 4.7

    cervical LAD. New enlarged left jugular and
    post. cervical LAD on CT FNA with atypical
    lymphocytes.
  • 1/27/04 ESHAP x 1 ? CR

  • University of Toronto experience with autologous
    SCT for relapsed or refractory PTL (all patients
    demonstrated chemosensitive disease)

No significant difference in outcome between
groups
27
Primary Systemic ALCL Sequential Intensive
Treatment with F-MACHOP and Autologous BMT Fanin
et al. Blood 1996, 87 1243
  • 16 patients with ALCL (8 B-cell)
  • F-MACHOP x 6 (56 CR) ? RT for residual
    mediastinal mass (6 pts, 3 had CR) ? auto BMT
    (100 CR)
  • OS 100 at median follow-up of 45.5 months (range
    15-66 mo.)

Our patient now
  • Transplant course was complicated by mucositis,
    bacteremia, and fungemia
  • Mild GVHD of the skin
  • 4/04 MRIminimal residual edema, no mass
  • Neck/chest/abd/pelvis CTdecreased LAD in
    the neck, no other LAD
