説明

Background: Multilobated B-cell lymphoma (MLBL) is rare. We describe a case probably derived from a parapancreatic lymph node.<BR>Case: A 37-year old Japanese man was hospitalized with suspected pancreatic cancer. Ascites cytology showed abundant medium to large atypical lymphocytes with marked nuclear indentation resembling a flower. More than half of the tumor cells had 3 or more lobed nuclei.<BR>At autopsy, lymphoma cells immunohistochemically proven to have a B-cell phenotype were mainly found proliferating in parapancreatic lymph nodes with invasion to multiple organs. These finding confirmed this case to be MLBL, probably derived from a parapancreatic lymph node. Using ascites material and tumor tissue obtained at autopsy, immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangement analysis demonstrated a single band, indicating monoclonal proliferation of B-cell lymphoma cells. Electron microscopy showed rough surface endplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, fat droplets, and microvilli-like structures in tumor cells.<BR>Conclusions: It is important in diagnosing MLBL to detect characteristic nuclear findings. Immunoglobulin gene analysis and electron microscopy aid in such diagnosis.
