The urgency of Burkitt lymphoma diagnosis in fluid cytology—A tertiary care experience
Background
Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is an aggressive high-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma commonly diagnosed in young age and is known to involve extra nodal sites. But the involvement of body fluids by BL is an uncommon presentation. Rapid diagnosis of BL is vital to prevent complications like tumour lysis syndrome. Cytological examination of body fluids continues to be an indispensable tool for rapid diagnosis of BL.
Objectives
In this study, we aim to study the clinical, cytomorphological and immunophenotypic characteristics of BL involving serous effusions and other fluids.
Materials and Methods
In this retrospective study, 17 cases reported as BL in fluid cytology from 2016 to 2022 were collected and reviewed. We performed a comprehensive analysis of the clinical data, cytomorphological features, immunophenotyping data along with the haematological workup of these cases. We have also compared with the histopathological diagnosis for those cases where biopsy was available.
Results
BL more commonly involved ascitic fluid (52%), followed by pleural fluid (4 cases) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF; 4 cases). Primary diagnosis of BL in fluid was done in 88% of the cases. Bone marrow involvement was noted in two cases. Cytological smears showed discrete monomorphous population of medium-sized atypical lymphoid cells with frequent apoptotic bodies. Classic cytoplasmic punched out vacuoles were observed in 88% of the cases. Immunophenotyping data was available for 12 cases in which tumour cells showed positivity for CD20 (100%), CD10 (4 of 7 cases), BCL6 (3 of 5 cases) and cMYC (7 of 7 cases—100%) and were negative for Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) (11 of 11 cases). Mean Ki67 labelling index was 95%. Histopathological diagnosis was available for 9 cases, and there was 100% agreement between cytological and histopathological diagnosis in 7 cases.
Conclusion
Precise diagnosis of BL can be rendered in body fluids by identification of classic cytomorphological features and by performing supportive ancillary tests in fluids for immunophenotyping.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Cytopathology is to publish articles relating to those aspects of cytology which will increase our knowledge and understanding of the aetiology, diagnosis and management of human disease. It contains original articles and critical reviews on all aspects of clinical cytology in its broadest sense, including: gynaecological and non-gynaecological cytology; fine needle aspiration and screening strategy.
Cytopathology welcomes papers and articles on: ultrastructural, histochemical and immunocytochemical studies of the cell; quantitative cytology and DNA hybridization as applied to cytological material.
