CARD11 is a crucial scaffold protein that controls antigen-induced activation of lymphocytes. Upon antigen receptor signaling, CARD11 engages several signaling pathways, leading to the activation of NF-κB, mTOR, and JNK. CARD11 mutations are frequently found in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and their ability to induce aberrant lymphocyte proliferation may be enhanced by mutations in regulators of CARD11 signal transduction. Here we describe how dysregulated CARD11 activity can promote lymphomagenesis through branched signaling pathways whose components and intermediates provide targets for novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Statement of novelty: This review discusses how gain-of-function CARD11 mutations promote lymphomagenesis by engaging branching signaling pathways and how these different pathways provide multiple targets for therapies.

StreszczenieB-komórkowe agresywne chłoniaki nieziarnicze (B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma – B-NHL) to heterogenna grupa nowotworów układu chłonnego, wywodząca się z obwodowych limfocytów B. Aberracje cytogenetyczne towarzyszące B-NHL to najczęściej translokacje onkogenów takich jak MYC, BCL2, BCL6 w okolice genowych loci dla łańcuchów ciężkich lub lekkich immunoglobulin. W niektórych przypadkach dochodzi do wystąpienia kilku wymienionych aberracji jednocześnie, tak jak w przypadkach przebiegających z równoczesną translokacją genów MYC i BCL2 (double hit), niekiedy także z obecnością rearanżacji BCL6 (triple hit). Takie chłoniaki cechuje szczególnie agresywny przebieg kliniczny. Obecnie molekularna diagnostyka cytogenetyczna przy użyciu techniki fluorescencyjnej hybrydyzacji in situ (FISH) oraz, w niektórych przypadkach, aCGH jest niezbędnym narzędziem rozpoznawania, klasyfikowania i oceny stopnia zaawansowania agresywnych, nieziarniczych chłoniaków B-komórkowych. Technika mikromacierzy CGH (aCGH) była kluczowym elementem wyróżnienia prowizorycznej grupy chłoniaków Burkitt-like z aberracją chromosomu 11q (Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration – BLL, 11q) w najnowszej klasyfikacji nowotworów układu chłonnego Światowej Organizacji Zdrowia (World Health Organization – WHO) z 2016 r. Omówione zostaną sposoby różnicowania na poziomie cytogenetycznym takich chłoniaków jak: chłoniak Burkitta (Burkitt lymphoma – BL), chłoniak rozlany z dużych komórek B (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma – DLBCL) oraz 2 nowych jednostek klasyfikacji WHO 2016, czyli chłoniaka z komórek B wysokiego stopnia złośliwości z obecnością translokacji MYC i BCL2 i/lub BCL6 (high-grade B-cell lymphoma HGBL, with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 translocations) oraz chłoniaka BLL, 11q.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common subtype B non-Hodgkin lymphoma in adults. After rituximab being introduced to treat DLBCL, the current first-line treatment is R-CHOP regimen. This regimen greatly improves patient's prognosis, however, relapsed or refractory cases are commonly seen, mainly due to the resistance to rituximab. Although a large number of experiments have been conducted to investigate rituximab resistance, the exac mechanisms and solutions are still unclear. This review mainly explores the possible mechanisms oft rituximab resistance and current new effective treatments for rituximab resistance in DLBCL.

Extranodal lymphoma (ENL) occurs in approximately 30%–40% of all patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and has been described in almost all organs and tissues. However, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most common histological subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, primarily arising in the retroperitoneal region. In this article, we report a rare case of an adult male diagnosed with primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the gluteal and adductor muscles with aggressive bone involvement. All appropriate radiological and histopathological studies were done for diagnosis and staging. After discussion with the lymphoma multidisciplinary team, it was agreed to start on R-CHOP protocol (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin (Adriamycin), vincristine (Oncovin®), and prednisone) as the standard of care, which was later changed to R-CODOX-M/R-IVAC protocol (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, vincristine (Oncovin®), doxorubicin, and high-dose methotrexate alternating with rituximab, ifosfamide, etoposide, and high-dose cytarabine) due to inadequate response. Due to the refractory aggressive nature of the disease, subsequent decision of the multidisciplinary team was salvage chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant. The aim of this case report was to describe and evaluate the clinical presentation and important radiological features of extranodal lymphoma affecting the musculoskeletal system.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common form of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) in adults. Affecting nearly 7 out of every 100,000 people in the United States annually, this hematogenous neoplasm is known for its aggressiveness and rapid development. Being the most common NHL, it has been divided into several subgroups based on pathogenesis and treatment methods. In particular, subtypes such as germinal center, activated B-cell-like, and primary mediastinal diffuse large B-cell lymphomas  have been divided by their uniqueness of pathology at the cellular level. Knowing the numerous cytokines, inflammatory markers, and other microcellular processes that these lymphomas disrupt can help target an effective therapeutic at the disease.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and comprises approximately 30% of all lymphomas. Patients typically present with a nonpainful mass in the neck, groin, or abdomen associated with constitutional symptoms. In this report, however, the authors describe a rare case of a 61-year-old woman with hyperprolactinemia, hypothyroidism, and acromegaly (elevation of insulin-like growth factor-1 [IGF-1]) with elevated growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH) in whom an MRI demonstrated diffuse enlargement of the pituitary gland. Despite medical treatment, the patient had persistent elevation of IGF-1. She underwent a transsphenoidal biopsy, which yielded a diagnosis of DLBCL with an activated B-cell immunophenotype with somatotroph hyperplasia. After stereo-tactic radiation therapy in combination with chemotherapy, she is currently in remission from her lymphoma and has normalized IGF-1 levels without medical therapy, 8 months after her histopathological diagnosis. This is the only reported case of its kind and displays the importance of a broad differential diagnosis, multidisciplinary evaluation, and critical intraoperative decision-making when treating atypical sellar lesions.

Primary breast diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a rare non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma with limited data. We here report a case of primary breast diffuse large B-cell lymphoma mimicking breast cancer. A 52-year-old woman had a painless mass in her right breast. Fine needle aspiration cytology and core biopsy were performed which suggested malignant features but could not confirm the specific subtype. Excisional biopsy then was conducted revealing non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which was subsequently confirmed with histopathology and diagnosed as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). A chest computed tomography scan revealed a 3.5 cm sized breast mass with skin thickening and modest lymphadenopathy in the ipsilateral axilla. The patient received six courses of R-CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone plus rituximab) chemotherapy, then whole breast radiation (30Gy in 15 fractions). At 12 months of follow-up, the patient survives with no evidence of disease. No morbidities occurred in this patient during the follow-up period. We briefly review the current practice pattern in patients with primary breast diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Background: Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), most common Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) variety, is an aggressive, fast-growing form comprising up to 40% of all cases globally. Objective: To observe the treatment outcome of different subtypes of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) after first-line chemotherapy and also the association with IHC, presenting age, sex, and IPI score with outcome. Methodology: This is a retrospective data analysis included all DLBCL patients registered in the department of Haematology of National Institute of Cancer Research and Hospital (NICRH) between July 2016 to June 2019. Results: Total 188 cases were included in this study and mean age was 48 years with a Standard deviation of 15 years with Male (69.1%) predominance. We divide the cases into three different entities of DLBCL [Germinal Centre B-cell like (GCB), Non-GCB and others (NOS) among them Non-GCB variety was the prevalent (47.3%) one. After first line   chemotherapy 52.1% complete remission with 7% death was observed in overall outcome. There was no significant difference in outcome among different types of DLBCL after chemotherapy based on Han’s algorithm. Rituximab with CHOP has significantly better outcome than CHOP alone arm (p: 0.021). Conclusion: This limited database study of NICRH will help to ascertain the outcome of DLBCL after first-line chemotherapy in Bangladesh.

Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It is characterized by the proliferation of cancerous cells into the intraluminal space of the blood vessels. It has a low incidence rate of 0.095 cases per 1,000,000. The clinical presentation is insidious and unspecific, often delaying the diagnosis. IVLBCL can be diagnosed through body images and histopathology analysis. This neoplasm averages a 60% response rate to current chemotherapy treatment, favoring rituximab, and doxorubicin-based regimen if it is diagnosed in time. Here, we present the case of a 56-year-old man admitted to our hospital with a fever who was eventually diagnosed with IVLBCL. He presented to the consultation with anemia, fever, and splenomegaly. An infection panel, a bone marrow biopsy, and a PET-CT scan were performed and ruled out the possibility of infections and neoplasms. The patient later developed edematous syndrome. As a result, a renal biopsy was performed which tested positive for intravascular large B-cell lymphoma. Currently, the patient has been in complete remission for 33 months. Along with presenting this specific case, we also reviewed previously published cases of IVLBCL to illustrate the renal involvement of this pathology.
