Abstract Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is generally associated with chronic antigen stimulation: auto-antigens or of microbial origin. Only one study suggested association between Achromobacter xylosoxidans and pulmonary MALT lymphoma. We aimed to investigate the presence of virus or any infectious agents in pulmonary MALT lymphoma by using metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS).All lung samples were centrally reviewed. The t(11;18) (q21;q21) was evaluated by FISH analysis. The snap frozen large lung biopsies were analyzed by mNGS. After lung biopsies homogenization total nucleic acids (RNA and DNA) were extracted, amplified and classified according to their taxonomic assignment, after exclusion of host DNA.We included 13 samples from pulmonary MALT lymphoma (mean age: 60.3 years, 7 women, 3 with auto-immune background) and 10 controls. The diagnosis of MALT lymphoma was confirmed for the 13 samples, 3 showed API2-MALT1 translocation (23%). No evidence of the presence of a specific pathogen was clearly identified in the group of patients with pulmonary MALT lymphoma. We identified A. xylosoxidans sequence in 4/13 patients and in 4/10 controls.This study did not find evidence for a DNA or RNA virus, a fungi, a parasite or a bacteria associated with pulmonary MALT lymphoma either in the stroma or in tumor cells.

Pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is indolent and progresses more slowly than other malignant lymphomas. The clinical features are not specific and the diagnosis can often be difficult. Here, we present two rare cases of pulmonary MALT lymphoma. Both patients were incidentally found lesions in the lungs with chest computed tomography during physical examination. They were finally diagnosed by pathological biopsy. One received complete resection, the other was treated with chemotherapy. There were no recurrence in the two patients during follow-up. We also review relevant literature to provide a better recognition of this disease.

Abstract Background: It remains unknown whether primary ocular adnexal MALT lymphoma is a homogenous disease, because there have been few reports on cytogenetic or molecular analysis of this disease. Patients and Methods: In 34 cases of ocular adnexal MALT lymphoma, we performed interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis to detect IgH/MALT1 and API2/MALT1 fusion genes. Aneuploidy of chromosome 3, 7, 12 and 18 was also identified using corresponding centromere probes. We defined trisomy when three centromeres were recognized in FISH analysis. Histopathologic features were reviewed and categorized according to the degree of plasma cell differentiation, monocytoid B cell feature, nodularity, abundance of reactive germinal centers, multikaryocytic cells, contaminated T cells, Duthcer bodies, and lymphoepithelial lesions (LELs). Correlations among FISH analysis, histopathologic features, and clinical data were analyzed. Results: FISH analysis showed 1 (3%) IgH/MALT1 fusion, 21 (62%) trisomy 3, 16 (47%) trisomy 18, and 3(9%) trisomy 7 cases. No cases showed API2/MALT1 fusion or trisomy 12. Existence of these cytogenetic change did not influence the degree of morphological features significantly, except for trisomy 18; Cases with trisomy 18 had significantly more abundant LEL cells, monocytoid B cells and residual reactive germinal centers, but less nodules, contaminated plasma cells and large cells. Cases with trisomy 18 showed distinct features of female dominance, younger age, and included more cases originated from conjunctiva. In total, five (15%) of 34 patients relapsed between 21 and 103 months, and all of them were found to have trisomy 18. Conclusions: Aneuploidy is found in a ceratin subset of ocular adnexal MALT lymphoma by FISH analysis. Cases with trisomy18 may make a distinct clinicopathlogic entity.
