AbstractBACKGROUND. Primary CD56 positive lymphoma of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is rare. Genotypically, these tumors can be classified into natural killer (NK)-like T-cell lymphoma or NK cell lymphoma by the presence or absence of T-cell receptor (TCR) gene rearrangement. However, they have a considerable degree of morphologic and immunophenotypic overlap, making a definitive diagnosis difficult. METHODS. The clinicopathologic features of three patients with primary CD56 positive lymphoma of the small and large bowel are presented. This is followed by a review of the English literature from 1966 to the present. RESULTS. All patients had CD56 posistive/CD3ε positive disease on paraffin section. Two patients were positive for Epstein-Barr virus-encoded early nuclear RNAs (EBER) according to in situ histochemistry results and were negative for TCR gene rearrangement, consistent with primary NK lymphoma of the GI tract. The other patient was EBER negative with rearranged TCR, consistent with NK-like T-cell lymphoma. There was no clinical or histologic evidence of enteropathy in any of the patients. The major presenting symptoms included fever, weight loss, and intestinal perforation. All patients died between 1 week and 6 months after diagnosis despite undergoing surgery and intensive chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS. These results, together with a literature review, suggest that primary NK cell lymphoma of the GI tract may be considered a distinct clinicopathologic entity. Both primary NK and NK-like T-cell lymphoma pursue an aggressive clinical course, EBER and TCR gene rearrangement are useful in distinguishing NK cell lymphoma from NK-like T-cell lymphoma, particularly when frozen tissue is not available for immunophenotyping. © 2001 American Cancer Society.
