Philadelphia chromosome-negative non-Hodgkin's lymphoma occurring in Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia: A case report and literature review.
Oncology Letters 2016 April
The current study reports the case of a patient with Philadelphia chromosome-negative (Ph(-)) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and chronic phase (CP) Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph(+)) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) that also possessed characteristic enlarged lymph nodes. A lymph node biopsy resulted in the diagnosis of CP-CML, in addition to T-lymphoblastic cell NHL with negative break point cluster/Abelson tyrosine kinase fusion genes in the lymph node of the patient, which was diagnosed as Ph(-) NHL. A review of the literature was performed in the present study to investigate the genetic differences between Ph(-) NHL and Ph(+) NHL in patients with CML. The median age of patients with NHL and CML was 41 years. The follow-up time of patients with Ph(+) NHL was significantly shorter (mean, <6 months) compared to the follow-up time of patients with Ph(-) NHL (mean, >15 months). Therefore the present study concludes that Ph(+) NHL may be more aggressive compared with Ph(+) NHL. The present study suggests that additional studies are required to assess the clinical and genetic characteristics of NHL patients with CML.
