Aggressive NK-cell Leukaemia  
Aggressive NK-cell Leukaemia  


==Definition / Description of Disease==
==Related Terminology==
Aggressive NK-cell leukaemia is a malignant proliferation of NK-cells, often associated with EBV infection, however, a subset of cases could be EBV negative. The disease has an extremely aggressive clinical course with poor response to chemotherapy, frequent relapses noted in patient who have had previously achieved complete remission (+/- bone marrow transplantation).


==Synonyms / Terminology==
Aggressive NK-cell leukaemia/lymphoma
==Epidemiology / Prevalence==
Aggressive NK-cell leukaemia impacts young to middle-aged adults with peak incidence during 3rd and 5th decades of life (Mean age: 40 years).<ref name=":1" /> There is no gender predilection and most prevalent in Asia, Central and South America.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=El Hussein|first=Siba|last2=Patel|first2=Keyur P.|last3=Fang|first3=Hong|last4=Thakral|first4=Beenu|last5=Loghavi|first5=Sanam|last6=Kanagal-Shamanna|first6=Rashmi|last7=Konoplev|first7=Sergej|last8=Jabbour|first8=Elias J.|last9=Medeiros|first9=L.

==Gene Mutations (SNV / INDEL)==
Mutations in the ''JAK-STAT'' pathway appear to be mutually exclusive.<ref name=":3" /> Most ''STAT3'' and ''STAT5B''  mutations localized to exons 20 and 21 encoding the Src homology 2 (SH2) domain, which causes ''STAT'' dimerization. Other mutations identified: 9p copy gains (containing ''JAK2),'' point mutation in protein tyrosine phosphatase (''PTPRK'') (tumor suppressor that negatively regulates ''STAT3''). mutations in ''PTPN4'' and ''PTPN23.<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":7" />''
 
Molecular abnormalities present possible therapeutic implications. Dufva et al identified high sensitivity of ANKL cell lines to JAK and BCL2 inhibition. Other possibly effective drug classes are heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitors, polo-like kinase (PLK) inhibitors, aurora kinase (AURK) inhibitors, cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, and histone deacetylase inhibitors.<ref name=":6" />

==Additional Information==
This disease is <u>defined/characterized</u> as detailed below:
*Aggressive NK-cell leukaemia is a malignant proliferation of NK-cells, often associated with EBV infection, however, a subset of cases could be EBV negative. The disease has an extremely aggressive clinical course with poor response to chemotherapy, frequent relapses noted in patient who have had previously achieved complete remission (+/- bone marrow transplantation).
The <u>epidemiology/prevalence</u> of this disease is detailed below:
*Aggressive NK-cell leukaemia impacts young to middle-aged adults with peak incidence during 3rd and 5th decades of life (Mean age: 40 years).<ref name=":1" /> There is no gender predilection and most prevalent in Asia, Central and South America.<ref name=":0" /> Median survival is very short, <2 months. EBV-negative cases tend to occur in older patients, with no significant difference in Asian vs. non-Asian populations.<ref name=":2" /> EBV-negative cases may occur de novo or transform from chronic lymphoproliferative disorder of NK cells.'''''<ref name=":4">{{Cite journal|last=Kim|first=Wook Youn|last2=Montes-Mojarro|first2=Ivonne A.|last3=Fend|first3=Falko|last4=Quintanilla-Martinez|first4=Leticia|date=2019|title=Epstein-Barr Virus-Associated T and NK-Cell Lymphoproliferative Diseases|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30931288|journal=Frontiers in Pediatrics|volume=7|pages=71|doi=10.3389/fped.2019.00071|issn=2296-2360|pmc=6428722|pmid=30931288}}</ref>'''''
The <u>clinical features</u> of this disease are detailed below:
*Most common presentation is with constitutional symptoms and frequently associated hepatosplenomegaly is noted on physical examination.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":4" />  EBV-negative cases may occur ''de novo'' or transform from chronic lymphoproliferative disorder of NK cells.
Signs and symptoms - Constitutional symptoms (weight loss, fever, night sweats); Hepatosplenomegaly common; Frequently complicated by multiorgan failure, coagulopathy and haemophagocytic syndrome

Laboratory findings - Markedly elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels; Circulating FASL; Variable percentage of circulating leukemic cells; Anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia


The <u>sites of involvement</u> of this disease are detailed below:


*Upregulated JAK/STAT-MYC biosynthesis axis due to upstream STAT3 activation of the MYC transcription program. *
*Peripheral blood, bone marrow, liver, spleen, and lymph nodes are frequently involved. Extranodal involvement sites are organs including skin, lungs, soft tissue and omentum has also been reported.<ref name=":5">{{Cite journal|last=Hue|first=Susan Swee-Shan|last2=Oon|first2=Ming Liang|last3=Wang|first3=Shi|last4=Tan|first4=Soo-Yong|last5=Ng|first5=Siok-Bian|date=2020-01|title=Epstein–Barr virus-associated T- and NK-cell lymphoproliferative diseases: an update and diagnostic approach|url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0031302519304210|journal=Pathology|language=en|volume=52|issue=1|pages=111–127|doi=10.1016/j.pathol.2019.09.011}}</ref>

*DNA damage repair (''TP53, ASXL1, ASXL2, BRINP3)''
*mRNA splicing factors ''(PRPF40B)''


The <u>morphologic features</u> of this disease are detailed below:


<nowiki>*</nowiki>Thought in some cases to be as a result of highly expressed EBV-encoded small RNAs (EBERs) causing release of IL-10.<ref name=":2" />
'''Peripheral Blood'''


*Variable; May appear as:
**Normal large granular lymphocytes or
**Intermediate to large cells with atypical nuclei (enlarged, irregular folding, open chromatin or distinct nucleoli) and moderate pale or lightly basophilic cytoplasm containing fine, coarse or no azurophilic granules.<ref name=":1" />
'''Bone Marrow:'''
*Interstitial or intrasinusoidal infiltrating pattern, which may be extensive, focal or subtle<ref name=":0" />
*May have interspersed reactive histiocytes with haemophagocytosis

*Round or highly irregular nuclei with condensed chromatin and small nucleoli
*Frequently admixed apoptotic bodies
*Necrosis common
*+/- angioinvasion
