    Notes: Aims : Extrafollicular activation of B cells is rarely observed in human lymph nodes. The aim of this study was to extensively analyse the expression of surface molecules and transcription factors in four such cases, comparing them with follicular B cells and medullary cord plasma cells.Methods and results : Various combinations of B-cell-related surface markers and transcription factors were studied by triple immunofluorescence. While in the germinal centre, reactive immunoglobulin production occurred exclusively in non-proliferating cells, in extrafollicular activation proliferation of B cells and immunoglobulin production coexisted. In two of these cases proliferating cells were mainly IgG+CD27+, i.e. derived from class-switched postgerminal centre memory B cells. Some of these cells expressed CD30. In the other two cases, immunoglobulin-forming cells were non-class-switched IgM+CD27– B cells, representing a primary expansion of naive B cells.Conclusions : Extrafollicular B-cell activation is the morphological correlate of rapid B-cell responses that do not involve the germinal centres. It is pathogenetically heterogeneous, comprising primary responses that occur prior to, or independent of, germinal centre reaction or memory cell activation in recall responses.

    Notes: Aims : Classical Hodgkin's lymphoma (cHL) rarely coexists as composite lymphoma with B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL). We characterized 12 cases of composite marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MZBL) and cHL by immunohistochemistry and molecular biology.Methods and results : Eight patients had gastric MZBL of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT)-type, in five cases with a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma component. Concurrent cHL was observed either in the stomach wall, regional, or distant lymph nodes. One patient each had composite pulmonary/thyroid MZBL of MALT-type and cHL. In two cases, nodal composite MZBL and cHL was observed. cHL displayed features of mixed cellularity type in 10 cases, while in two cases only scattered Hodgkin- and Reed–Sternberg (H/RS) cells were noted. H/RS cells expressed CD30, multiple myeloma oncogene 1 protein (MUM1P), p53 (100%), CD15 (58%), CD20 (58%) and Epstein–Barr virus-associated LMP1 (50%). No t(11;18)(q21;q21) was detected in composite MZBL of MALT-type and cHL.Conclusions : MZBL and cHL may occur as composite lymphoma, possibly reflecting clonal lymphoma progression. Derivation from extranodal MZBL of MALT-type should be excluded in cases in which a diagnosis of primary extranodal cHL is considered.
