Transformed Follicular Lymphoma: The Role of the Pathologist in Aiding Therapeutic Decision Making
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the second most common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Follicular lymphoma is generally an indolent disorder, and despite being incurable with standard chemotherapy, recent advances in treatment strategies have improved clinical outcomes and survival. Over time, FL could acquire additional genetic mutations and transform into diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, a more aggressive B-cell neoplasm, which markedly reduces survival. Treatment of transformed FL is based on combination chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Rituximab has changed the treatment landscape in FL. However, novel approaches to treatment of transformed FL are in development. Here, we present a case of FL with transformation to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and review diagnostic modalities along with current and upcoming therapies, many of which require assessment of antigen expression patterns from the pathologist. In particular, we will highlight the role the pathologist plays in management decisions.
期刊介绍:
Each issue of Pathology Case Reviews examines one vital theme in the field with peer-reviewed, clinically oriented case reports that focus on diagnosis, specimen handling and reports generation. Each theme-oriented issue covers both histopathologic and cytopathologic cases, offering a comprehensive perspective that includes editorials and review articles of the newest developments in the field, differential diagnosis hints, applications of new technologies, reviews of current issues and techniques and an emphasis on new approaches.
