==Definition / Description of Disease==
Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma, ALK-Positive (ALK+ ALCL) is a T-cell lymphoma characterized by usually large lymphoma cells with abundant cytoplasm and pleomorphic nuclei, often horse-shoe shaped (see Morphologic Features below), with a chromosomal rearrangement involving the ALK gene resulting in expression of ALK protein and CD30
==Synonyms / Terminology==
*Ki-1 (CD30) lymphoma - obsolete
==Epidemiology / Prevalence==
*ALCL ([[ALK]]+, ALK-, and primary cutaneous) account for <5% of all cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL)<ref name=":0" />

*Lymphoma cells characterized by eccentric, horseshoe-shaped or kidney-shaped nuclei, often with eosinophilic cytoplasm accentuated near the nucleus
*Usually large in size, but may also be smaller
*Present in varying proportions
*Seen in all morphological variants/patterns of ALK+ ALCL
 
Morphological variants/patterns
 
#Common (60%): predominant population of large hallmark cells
#Lymphohistiocytic (10%): lymphoma cells are admixed with numerous reactive histiocytes that may obscure the lymphoma cells; lymphoma cells often cluster around vessels and are often smaller than in the common pattern
#Small cell (5-10%): predominant population of smaller lymphoma cells; hallmark cells are often concentrated around vessels; may also see "fried egg cells" (pale cytoplasm with central nucleus) or signet ring-like cells; can misdiagnose of peripheral T-cell lymphoma, NOS
#Hodgkin-like (3%): mimics nodular sclerosis classic Hodgkin lymphoma
#Composite (15%): more than one pattern in a single lymph node
 
When lymph node is only partially involved, lymphoma characteristically grows in the sinuses, which may mimic a metastatic tumor.

==Additional Information==
==Additional Information==
This disease is <u>defined/characterized</u> as detailed below:
Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma, ALK-Positive (ALK+ ALCL) is a T-cell lymphoma characterized by usually large lymphoma cells with abundant cytoplasm and pleomorphic nuclei, often horse-shoe shaped (see Morphologic Features below), with a chromosomal rearrangement involving the ALK gene resulting in expression of ALK protein and CD30


*None
The <u>epidemiology/prevalence</u> of this disease is detailed below:
 
*ALCL ([[ALK]]+, ALK-, and primary cutaneous) account for <5% of all cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL)<ref name=":0" />
 
*ALK+ ALCL<ref name=":0" />
**~3% of adult NHL
**10-20% of childhood lymphomas
**Most frequent in the first three decades of life
**Male:female = 1.5:1
 
The <u>clinical features</u> of this disease are detailed below:
 
Signs and symptoms - Most patients (70%) present with advanced (stage III-IV) disease and B-symptoms.<ref name=":19">{{Cite journal|last=Savage|first=Kerry J.|last2=Harris|first2=Nancy Lee|last3=Vose|first3=Julie M.|last4=Ullrich|first4=Fred|last5=Jaffe|first5=Elaine S.|last6=Connors|first6=Joseph M.|last7=Rimsza|first7=Lisa|last8=Pileri|first8=Stefano A.|last9=Chhanabhai|first9=Mukesh|date=2008-06-15|title=ALK- anaplastic large-cell lymphoma is clinically and immunophenotypically different from both ALK+ ALCL and peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified: report from the International Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma Project|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18385450/|journal=Blood|volume=111|issue=12|pages=5496–5504|doi=10.1182/blood-2008-01-134270|issn=1528-0020|pmid=18385450}}</ref>
 
Laboratory findings - Noncontributory
 
The <u>sites of involvement</u> of this disease are detailed below:
 
*Lymph nodes and extranodal sites (most commonly skin, bone, soft tissue, lungs and liver)<ref name=":0" />
*Bone marrow involvement detected in 30% when using immunohistochemistry (CD30 and EMA). Can miss marrow involvement by H&E evaluation alone, which detects involvement with ~10% incidence.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=M|first=Fraga|last2=P|first2=Brousset|last3=D|first3=Schlaifer|last4=C|first4=Payen|last5=A|first5=Robert|last6=H|first6=Rubie|last7=F|first7=Huguet-Rigal|last8=G|first8=Delsol|date=1995|title=Bone marrow involvement in anaplastic large cell lymphoma.

*Lymphoma cells characterized by eccentric, horseshoe-shaped or kidney-shaped nuclei, often with eosinophilic cytoplasm accentuated near the nucleus
*Usually large in size, but may also be smaller
*Present in varying proportions
*Seen in all morphological variants/patterns of ALK+ ALCL
 
Morphological variants/patterns
 
#Common (60%): predominant population of large hallmark cells
#Lymphohistiocytic (10%): lymphoma cells are admixed with numerous reactive histiocytes that may obscure the lymphoma cells; lymphoma cells often cluster around vessels and are often smaller than in the common pattern
#Small cell (5-10%): predominant population of smaller lymphoma cells; hallmark cells are often concentrated around vessels; may also see "fried egg cells" (pale cytoplasm with central nucleus) or signet ring-like cells; can misdiagnose of peripheral T-cell lymphoma, NOS
#Hodgkin-like (3%): mimics nodular sclerosis classic Hodgkin lymphoma
#Composite (15%): more than one pattern in a single lymph node
 
When lymph node is only partially involved, lymphoma characteristically grows in the sinuses, which may mimic a metastatic tumor.
 
The <u>immunophenotype</u> of this disease is detailed below:
 
* CD30 expression on ALCL (ALK+ or ALK-) allows for targeted therapy<ref name=":2" />. First-line therapy: [https://www.fda.gov/drugs/fda-approves-brentuximab-vedotin-previously-untreated-salcl-and-cd30-expressing-ptcl Brentuximab] (anti-CD30) vedotin + CHP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone)
 
CD30+''':''' Positive (universal) - cell membrane and Golgi; large lymphoma cells show strongest staining; smaller cells may show weak, partial to negative staining
 
ALK: Positive (universal) - cellular location of ALK staining varies depending on ALK translocation partner. In the most common t(2;5), most cases show both cytoplasmic and nuclear
 
EMA: positive (subset)
 
CD3: Positive (subset)
 
CD4: Positive (70%)
 
CD5: Negative in majority of cases
 
CD8: Positive in majority of cases
 
CD2: Positive in majority of cases
 
TIA1: Positive
 
Granzyme B: Positive
 
Perforin: Positive
 
CD45: Variably positive
 
CD25: Positive (universal)
 
BCL2: Negative (universal)
