Complex karyotype determined using conventional cytogenetic analysis is a poor prognostic factor in patients with multiple myeloma
This study aimed to clarify whether HRCAs and additional chromosomal abnormalities affect MM prognosis. Patients with newly diagnosed MM who were treated with novel agents were retrospectively evaluated. The primary objective was to assess the difference in progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) between patients with/without HRCAs and between patients with/without complex karyotype (CK). The secondary objectives were to identify factors affecting PFS/OS and factors related to CK. HRCAs were defined as del(17p), t(4;14), t(14;16), and gain/amplification(1q) assessed using fluorescence in situ hybridizatio...

Diverse B-cell tumors associated with t(14;19)(q32;q13)/IGH::BCL3 identified by G-banding and fluorescence in situ hybridization
J Clin Exp Hematop. 2024;64(1):21-31. doi: 10.3960/jslrt.23053.ABSTRACTWe characterized 5 B-cell tumors carrying t(14;19)(q32;q13) that creates the IGH::BCL3 fusion gene. The patients' ages ranged between 55 and 88 years. Two patients presented with progression or recurrence of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), two with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of non-germinal center B-like phenotype, and the remaining one with composite angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma and Epstein-Barr virus-positive DLBCL. The presence of t(14;19)(q32;q13) was confirmed by fluorescence in situ hy...

Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma with localized relapse in bone marrow of lower leg detected using PET-CT
We present two patients with ENKTL, wherein positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) with total-body coverage after induction therapy, detected newly relapsed regions in the bone marrow of the lower leg prior to progression. Case 1: A 47-year-old woman with nasal obstruction, showing 18F-fluoro-deoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the nasal cavity (Lugano stage IE). After induction therapy (RT-2/3 DeVIC), PET-CT revealed abnormal uptake only in the right fibula. Case 2: A 68-year-old man with a skin nodule/ulcer and an enlarged right inguinal lymph node was diagnosed with advanced ENKTL. A PET-CT scan revealed abn...

Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma coexisting with peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified
We report the case of a 52-year-old male who presented to our hospital with cervical lymphadenopathy. Lymph node biopsy revealed small atypical lymphoid cells positive for CD3 and CD5 and negative for CD56 and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded small RNA (EBER) by in situ hybridization. CD4-positive cells and CD8-positive cells were mixed in almost equal numbers. He was diagnosed with peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS). The patient received one cycle of chemotherapy, resulting in severe sepsis. While undergoing treatment in the intensive care unit with an antimicrobial agent and prednisone, asciti...

Recurrence of solitary plasmacytoma in the liver 10 years after the onset of multiple bone lesions
J Clin Exp Hematop. 2024;64(1):65-70. doi: 10.3960/jslrt.23056.ABSTRACTA 79-year-old man presented with a history of solitary plasmacytoma in the bone 10 years ago. Chemoradiotherapy was effective, and remission was maintained with intermittent treatment at relapse of the bone lesions. One year after the last treatment, a follow-up computed tomography (CT) scan revealed multiple liver masses, and a liver biopsy revealed plasmacytoma. There was no clonal plasma cell infiltration in the bone marrow, and the final diagnosis was solitary plasmacytomas of the liver. Although liver involvement is known in relapsed refractory mul...
