Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The aggressive clinical course and the distinctive histologic, cytochemical, and cytogenetic features of an adult non-Sézary T-cell lymphoma with suppressor activity have been investigated. Morphological and ultrastructural analysis of neoplastic cells from peripheral blood and involved lymph nodes revealed cells with convoluted nuclei, prominent cytoplasmic azurophilic granules, well developed Golgi apparatus, short strands of endoplasmic reticulum, and moderate numbers of ribosomes and mitochondria. Cytochemical reactions showed acid phosphatase (ACP) positivity in virtually all of the neoplastic cells; and a substantial percentage of the cells, the tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (T-ACP) isoenzyme was observed. Granular naphthyl acetate esterase (A-EST) reactivity was not present. The histological and cytochemical features of these neoplastic suppressor cells were compared with those recently described for the suppressor T-cell fraction isolated from normal peripheral blood T-cell by Fc gamma-rosette formation. The aneuploid clone had 47 chromosomes with multiple complex abnormalities, including a 14q + chromosome formed by the tandem translocation of two no. 14 chromosomes and translocations involving the long arms of no. 2 and no. 9 at band 9q34. These latter changes are particularly common in T-cell disorders. The extensive analysis of this histologic, cytochemical, and cytogenetic features of this adult T-cell suppressor lymphoma should help to clarify the criteria for distinguishing among the subsets of T-cell neoplasms with definable immunologic function.
