EATL is further classified into two distinct types: type I (classical) EATL, which comprises 80%–90% of all cases; and type II EATL, a monomorphic variant of the disease. Type I EATL occurs at a higher frequency in northern Europe, where celiac disease is more common, and is characterized by the presence of large tumor cells with a CD3+CD4–CD8–CD56– immunophonotype [1]. Conversely, type II EATL, originally described as CD56+ intestinal lymphoma, consists of monomorphic small- to medium-sized tumor cells, typically with a CD3+CD4–CD8+CD56+ immunophenotype, with weak or no association with celiac disease [1,2]. Recently, a number of reports have defined type II EATL as a distinct T-cell neoplasm predominant in patients of Asian ethnicity with no history of enteropathy or Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) association. In addition, type II EATL is characterized by frequent expression of gamma-delta T-cell receptors (γδ TCR). EBV-positive cases were suggested to represent extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma rather than type II EATL. Whether EBV-positive cases with similar morphology and phenotype should be included in the definition of EATL and whether a proportion of these cases are γδ T-cell lymphomas remain debatable. Herein, we report a case of T-cell lymphoma of the jejunum with a CD3+CD4–CD8+CD56–betaF1+ phenotype, rearranged γ TCR genes, and diffuse EBV-encoded RNA (EBER) positivity.","PeriodicalId":49936,"journal":{"name":"Korean Journal of Pathology","volume":"48 6","pages":"426-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4132/KoreanJPathol.2014.48.6.426","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"32976458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
