pubmed:abstractText
A morphological, immunophenotypic and ultrastructural study, cell cycle estimation, DNA and cytogenetic analysis were performed in ten cases of B-MALT lymphomas. Five had low grade lymphoma and five had high grade. Low and high grade cases showed the same cells but in different percentages: These included centrocyte-like cells with occasional monocytoid cytoplasmic changes, and centroblast-like cells. However, in high grade cases more dysplastic and large cells were present. All cellular types showed an important development of rough endoplasmic reticulum. In all cases a large panel of monoclonal antibodies was employed to study the B-cell immunophenotype. Ki-67 positivity ranged from 5% to 30% in low-grade cases and from 50% to 70% in high-grade cases. Gene rearrangement analysis showed rearrangement with Jh probe and half of the cases were also rearranged with the Kde probe (Kappa constant chain gene). A rearrangement banding pattern with TCR genes was not present in any of the cases. Cytogenetic study showed complex alterations in high grade cases and a normal karyotype in low grade lymphomas. Only one case had rearrangement for the bcl-2 probe.
