PURPOSE: Large B-cell lymphoma with IRF4 rearrangement (LBCL, IRF4+) has been recently recognized as a specific entity that is frequently associated with young age and favorable prognosis. However, whether the good outcome of the disease is due to IRF4+ or other factors remains obscure. We thus analyzed 100 young patients with primary head and neck LBCL to see the clinicopathologic correlates of IRF4+.
METHODS: The histopathology, immunophenotype, IRF4 status of the tumors, and clinical data were reviewed.
RESULTS: Twenty-one tumors were diagnosed as LBCL, IRF4+, which were more frequently associated with a follicular growth pattern, medium-sized blastoid cytology, germinal center B-cell-like, and CD5+ phenotype, compared with IRF4- ones. While most of the patients received chemotherapy with or without radiation, eight IRF4+ patients received mere surgical resection of the tumor and exhibited excellent outcome. IRF4+ cases featured a significantly higher complete remission rate, and better survivals compared with IRF4- ones. Multivariate analysis confirmed IRF4+ correlates with a better survival.
CONCLUSION: Our work confirmed the unique clinicopathologic features of LBCL, IRF4+, and disclosed for the first time the independent favorable prognostic impact of IRF4+. These findings may further unravel the heterogeneity of LBCL occurring in youth, and aid in risk stratification and tailoring the therapeutic strategy.
