OBJECTIVE: To apply the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect clonality for potentially helping to establish a definitive diagnosis of lymphoma in cytologic material.
STUDY DESIGN: In this retrospective study, Papanicolaou-stained cytologic smears and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues from 17 cases of B-cell lymphoma were examined to investigate their clonality by a PCR technique using three different approaches (FR3, FR3A and FR2) for amplification of immunoglobulin heavy chain genes. Cytologic smears from 10 cases of nonneoplastic lymphoid tissues and T-cell lymphomas served as negative controls.
RESULTS: Monoclonality was detected in 9 of 17 cases (53%) of B-cell lymphoma in cytologic smears as compared with 8 of 16 cases (50%) in tissue sections. Semi-nested PCRs (FR3A/FR2) were superior to the single PCR (FR3) in the detection rate (41% vs. 18%). Five of seven cases (71%) of marginal zone B-cell lymphomas showed monoclonality, whereas only 4 of 10 cases (40%) of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas did so. Monoclonality was demonstrated in none of the negative controls.
CONCLUSIONS: Clonality detection in B-cell lymphomas by PCR using cytologic smears is specific and equal in sensitivity to that using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues. The detection rate is especially excellent in marginal zone B-cell lymphoma, in which the cytologic diagnosis is particularly challenging. Combined seminested PCRs for FR3A and FR2 are advocated for a reliable assessment of clonality.
