OBJECTIVES: The diagnosis and grading of follicular lymphomas (FLs) by fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) has not been systematically compared with core needle biopsy (CNB). We evaluated the sensitivity of FNAB in diagnosing and grading FLs using a multiparameter approach in a large cancer center.
METHODS: We retrospectively identified CNBs of lymph nodes diagnosed as FL that also had a concurrently acquired FNAB on the same site. The majority of cases had flow cytometric analysis and these results were available for interpretation of both the FNAB and CNB.
RESULTS: Out of 342 patients, CNB diagnoses included 291 (85%) low-grade (LG) FLs, 30 (9%) high-grade (HG) FLs, and 21 (6%) non-graded FLs/other. FNAB diagnoses included 194 (57%) LG FLs, 19 (6%) HG FLs, 93 (27%) non-graded FLs, 9 (3%) large B-cell lymphomas (LBCL) of follicle center origin, and 27 (7%) insufficient for diagnosis/other. Review of non-graded FLs showed 45% LG, 35% indeterminate due to polymorphous lymphoid cells with increased numbers of large cells, and 20% scant cellularity. Sensitivity of FNAB for diagnosing FL was 89%, and 66% for LG FL. The latter increased (94%), however, when grading was performed.
CONCLUSION: FNAB is highly sensitive for diagnosing FLs when cellular material for cytomorphology and flow cytometric analysis is obtained, and grading is feasible for most LG FLs. A subset of FLs composed of a polymorphous lymphoid population with increased numbers of large cells may be more difficult to grade, and HG FLs can be difficult to distinguish from CD10-positive diffuse LBCLs.
