Buzzword Diagnosis / Clue
ALK+ ALCL, t(2;5) NPM-ALK Best PTCL prognosis (~80 % cure with CHOEP); young pts
ALK– ALCL with DUSP22-IRF4 rearrangement Better than ALK– without DUSP22
ALK– ALCL with TP63 rearrangement Adverse
CD30+ in ALCL / Hodgkin / cHL / MF transformation Brentuximab vedotin target
HTLV-1 + flower cells / cloverleaf nuclei + hypercalcemia ATLL (acute, lymphoma, chronic, smoldering subtypes)
AITL with TFH markers (CD10+, BCL6+, CXCL13+, PD-1+) Polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia, EBV+, lymphadenopathy + skin rash + autoimmune
Cerebriform nuclei in skin + epidermotropism Mycosis fungoides (MF) — indolent CTCL
Sézary cells (>1000/mm³ atypical T cells in PB) + erythroderma Sézary syndrome — leukemic CTCL variant
Hepatosplenomegaly + cytopenias + γδ T-cell Hepatosplenic γδ T-cell lymphoma — aggressive, young men
Enteropathy-associated (refractory celiac → EATL) Type I EATL (HLA-DQ2/8); type II MEITL (γδ-derived)
Extranodal NK/T-cell EBV+ nasal type Asia, midline destructive, asparaginase-based regimens (SMILE)

分類與診斷

Diagnostic Criteria

  • WHO 5e / ICC 2022: large family — PTCL-NOS, ALK+ ALCL, ALK– ALCL, AITL/nodal TFH, ATLL, cutaneous (MF/SS, primary cut. ALCL, LyP), extranodal NK/T-cell, EATL/MEITL, hepatosplenic γδ, T-LGL, etc.
  • Diagnosis by tissue biopsy with full T-cell IHC panel + TCR clonality.
  • HTLV-1 serology in any aggressive PTCL with hypercalcemia or appropriate epidemiology.
  • EBV in situ (EBER) for nasal-type, AITL, lymphomatoid granulomatosis.
  • Staging: Lugano (Ann Arbor) for nodal; TNMB for MF/SS (skin patches/plaques/tumors, lymph nodes, viscera, blood).

Workup

  • Excisional biopsy with full T-cell IHC + TCR γ/β clonality.
  • PET-CT for staging.
  • CBC, CMP, LDH, calcium, β2M, HTLV-1 (if hypercalcemia, lymphocytosis), HIV, HBV, HCV.
  • CD30 IHC (drives brentuximab eligibility).
  • EBER ISH for nasal-type and AITL.
  • Marrow biopsy + flow for staging.
  • Skin biopsy if cutaneous involvement (MF/SS).
  • CSF analysis if neurologic symptoms.

陷阱與考點

Pearls / Pitfalls

  • Brentuximab + CHP (ECHELON-2) is standard for CD30+ PTCL (all ALCL by definition; PTCL-NOS and AITL if CD30+) — beat CHOP for OS. Don't substitute vincristine for brentuximab in CD30+ disease.2
  • ALK+ ALCL is the most curable PTCL (~80 %) — auto-HCT consolidation in CR1 is NOT standard for ALK+. ALK– ALCL, AITL, PTCL-NOS → auto-HCT in CR1 is appropriate.
  • HTLV-1 + hypercalcemia + lytic bones + lymphocytosis with flower cells = ATLL acute type — treat with intensive chemo + allo-HCT; smoldering/chronic types observed.
  • Mogamulizumab (anti-CCR4) approved for relapsed MF/SS — don't give immediately before allo-HCT (severe GVHD risk).
  • Romidepsin approved for R/R PTCL and CTCL — HDAC inhibitor; QT prolongation, thrombocytopenia.
  • Asparaginase-based regimens (SMILE) are key for NK/T-cell nasal-type — anthracyclines (CHOP) historically inferior. Asparaginase overcomes MDR1 efflux.
  • Hepatosplenic γδ T-cell lymphoma is associated with chronic immunosuppression (e.g., infliximab + azathioprine for IBD) — aggressive, allo-HCT preferred.
  • Lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) is NOT treated as a lymphoma — it's a CD30+ self-limiting cutaneous condition; observe + topical therapy.
  • MF/SS skin involvement TNMB staging — different from Lugano. Treat indolent stages with skin-directed (NB-UVB, PUVA, topical steroids/mechlorethamine, RT).
  • Allo-HCT is the only curative option for advanced MF/SS, ATLL, hepatosplenic γδ.
