It exhibits strong geographical and ethnic predispositions and is relatively prevalent in China, making it one of the common lymphoma types in our country. Most cases of this tumor exhibit aggressive biological behavior, and timely, accurate pathological diagnosis is crucial for improving cure rates and patient prognosis. However, the tumor has a broad histopathological spectrum, diverse morphological features, and lacks specific immunomarkers, which can lead to misdiagnosis or underdiagnosis in some cases. Additionally, it is necessary to integrate clinical, imaging, and laboratory findings to differentiate ENKTL from a range of EBV-positive lymphoproliferative disorders. In recent years, with the continuous advancement of molecular biology technologies, significant progress has been made in the molecular genetic research of ENKTL.

Their clinical data, histomorphology, and immunophenotype were reviewed. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to evaluate the overall survival (OS), and COX regression analysis was performed to identify prognostic factors affecting OS. &lt;b&gt;Results:&lt;/b&gt; Among the 27 patients, 18 were male and 9 were female, with a male-to-female ratio of 2∶1. The age ranged from 15-75 years, with a median age of 42.0 (28.5, 54.5) years. Fever and splenomegaly were the most common signs and symptoms. Most patients presented with pancytopenia, coagulation abnormalities, and liver dysfunction; and all patients had elevated EBV loads. Microscopically, 16 cases showed marked to hypercellular bone marrow proliferation, with predominant interstitial infiltration (15 cases, 55.6%), followed by sinusoidal infiltration (3 cases), diffuse infiltration (6 cases, 22.2%), mixed infiltration (interstitial and focal, 3 cases, 11.1%), focal infiltration (2 cases, 7.4%), and nodular infiltration (1 case, 3.7%). The proportion of tumor cells among nucleated cells ranged from 2% to 80%, with a median of 30%. The tumor cells displayed variable morphology. Hemophagocytosis was observed in 23 cases. Immunohistochemistry revealed that all cases expressed CD56, with mostly expressing cytotoxic molecules (granzyme B, TIA-1). The Ki-67 proliferative index ranged from 50% to 90%. CD56-EBER dual staining showed that NK cells were the primary targets of the virus. Reticulin staining showed increased fibrosis. By flow cytometry, all cases were positive for CD2 but negative for surface CD3 (sCD3), CD4, CD5 and CD57. Among them, 21 cases (95.5%) exhibited a typical phenotype of strong CD56 expression (CD56str+) with CD16 negativity (CD16-), while only one case (4.5%) showed CD16 positivity (CD16+) with dim CD56 expression (CD56dim). In killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) analysis, 6 out of 17 patients (6/17) demonstrated monoclonal expression, including CD158a (4/6), CD158i (1/6), and CD158e (1/6); the remaining 11 cases (11/17) showed complete absence of KIR expression. All tested cases (17/17) were negative for T-cell receptor (TCR) protein expression. Follow-up period was from 257 days, 1 patient was lost to follow-up, and the remaining 26 patients died. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that OS was significantly longer in patients who received chemotherapy compared to those who did not (&lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;0.05). Univariate Cox proportional hazards model analysis indicated that age, bone marrow proliferation, proportion of tumor cells among nucleated cells, absolute neutrophil count, platelet count, and triglycerides and bilirubin levels significantly affected OS (&lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;0.05).

Their clinical pathological and next-generation sequencing (NGS) data were analyzed. Relevant literature was also reviewed, and follow-ups were carried out. <b>Results:</b> Among the three patients, there were 1 female (case 1) and 2 males (cases 2 and 3), with the ages of 29,41 and 44 years, respectively. All of them were presented with space-occupying renal lesions. Case 1 (KIAA1217-ALK RCC) showed mixed cystic and solid components under the microscope, with tubular, papillary, and cribriform arrangements. The tumor cells had clear boundaries, and were cubic or low columnar, arranged in a single layer, pseudostratified or in sheets. The cytoplasm was abundant and eosinophilic, and part of the cytoplasm was vacuolated, as if there was accumulation of mucoid substances. The tumor cell nuclei were oval with prominent nucleoli. A large amount of mucus and inflammatory cell infiltration were noted in the stroma. Case 2 (TPM1-ALK RCC) showed a papillary growth pattern, with small, slender papillae accompanied by branches. The cells were arranged in a single layer, and the cytoplasm was either eosinophilic or clear. Foamy cells were aggregated in the stroma, accompanied by psammoma body-like calcifications. Case 3 (EML4-ALK RCC) was characterized by papillary and tubulocystic structures. The cytoplasm was abundant and eosinophilic. The tumor cell nuclei were large, with prominent nucleoli. There was conspicuous infiltration of lymphocytes and neutrophils in the fibromuscular stroma. The tumor cells all expressed epithelial markers, PAX8, GATA3, P504s and FH. ALK (5A4) staining showed diffuse strong expression in the cytoplasm, while TFE-3 was positive (nuclear stain) only in case 1 and case 3. The fluorescence in situ hybridization showed that ALK gene rearrangement was present in all three cases, while TFE-3 gene rearrangement/mutation was not detectable in case 1 and case 3. NGS showed the KIAA1217::ALK fusion (the fusion site in the exon 11 of KIAA1217 and exon 18 of ALK) in case 1, the TPM1::ALK fusion (the exon 8 of TPM1 and exon 20 of ALK) in case 2, and the EML4::ALK fusion (the exon 2 region of EML4 and the exon 20 region of ALK) in case 3. <b>Conclusions:</b> ALK-rearranged RCC has unique molecular characteristics.
