Hemophagocytosis-Related (Asian Variant) Intravascular Large B-Cell Lymphoma in a Hispanic Patient:  A Case Report Highlighting a Micronodular Pattern in the Spleen.

OBJECTIVES
We report a case of hemophagocytosis-related (Asian variant) intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) in a patient of Western origin initially diagnosed by splenectomy with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with a micronodular pattern. The clonal relationship between these two DLBCL subtypes is also investigated.


METHODS
Hemophagocytosis-related (Asian variant) IVLBCL was identified at autopsy in a 62-year-old Hispanic woman, in North America, following an antemortem diagnosis of massive splenic involvement by DLBCL with a micronodular pattern, a feature not expected of IVLBCL.


RESULTS
These two apparently distinct lymphoma types demonstrated similar immunophenotypic profiles and IgH gene rearrangements of identical size suggesting a clonal relationship. The 2008 WHO classification system describes IVLBCL in the spleen as having a sinusoidal pattern.


CONCLUSIONS
Our observations provide the first molecular genetic support for a seemingly underrecognized micronodular pattern of IVLBCL in the spleen and further support the proposal of a "mixed variant" of IVLBCL with concomitant "intravascular" and "solid" phases of disease.
