Overview

Waldenström macroglobulinemia must be differentiated from multiple myeloma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma, b-cell prolymphocytic leukemia, follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, and marginal zone lymphoma.

Differentiating Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia from other B Cell Lymphoid Neoplasms

Waldenström macroglobulinemia must be differentiated from other B cell lymphoid neoplasms including:

  • Always express CD5
  • Usually CD23 positive[1]
  • Express CD10, HLA-DR, pan B-cell antigens (CD19, CD20, CD79a), CD21, and surface IgM, IgG, or IgA
  • Rearrangement of Bcl-2[4][5]
  • Express CD138, CD38, CD79a, VS38c and CD56 (70%)
  • Presence of plasmacytic cell infiltration of bone marrow, osteolytic lesions, and renal insufficiency
  • Translocation involving chromosome 11 (t11;14)[6]
  • Expresses CD5+ and CD23+
  • Expresses surface IgM, IgD, and cyclin D1 in majority of cases
  • Infiltration of bone marrow by monomorphous small lymphoid cells with irregular nuclei[7][8]
  • Expresses B cell markers CD19, CD20, and CD22
  • Infiltrates the bone marrow with a characteristic intertrabecular and intrasinusoidal pattern
  • Most common cytogenetic abnormalities are loss of 7q (19%) along with +3q (19%) and +5q (10% )[9][10]
Histopathology, immunophenotype, and genetic features of differential diagnosis of Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia
Disease entity Histopathology Immunophenotype Genetic or other features
Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia ≥10 percent infiltration by small lymphocytes, plasmacytoid lymphocytes, and plasma cells, with variable numbers of admixed immunoblasts. Has a characteristic (but not pathognomonic) hyperplasia of mast cells in marrow. Lymph nodes are usually diffusely effaced. Absence of proliferation centers and marginal zone type differentiation. Expression of pan B-cell antigens (CD19, CD20, CD22, CD79a), failure to express CD5 in mostly cases and variable expression of CD11c, CD43, CD25. Mostly cases have IgM expression with only fewer expressing IgG or IgA. There's no CD10 and cyclin D1 expression. Majority have a monoclonal IgM paraprotein. No specific chromosomal abnormalities.
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma "Typical" CLL/SLL cells are small mature appearing lymphocytes with a dense nucleus, partially aggregated chromatin, no discernible nucleoli, and a narrow border of clear to slightly basophilic cytoplasm. Always express CD5, usually CD23 positive with a dim expression of CD20 and surface Ig. Del13q, del 11q, del17p, trisomy 12
B-cell prolymphocytic leukemia Prolymphocytes comprise >55 percent of the neoplastic cells. Bone marrow has interstitial pattern of infiltration. Lymph nodes may show vague nodularity, but proliferation centers are absent. Express bright surface IgM +/- IgD and bright CD20 as well as other B-cell antigens (CD19, CD22, CD79a, FMC7). t(11;14) must be excluded. There's no associated paraproteinemia.
Follicular lymphoma Nodular growth pattern of follicle center cells (centrocytes and centroblasts). Typically express CD10, HLA-DR, pan B-cell antigens (CD19, CD20, CD79a), CD21, and surface IgM, IgG, or IgA. t(14;18)
Multiple myeloma Infiltration of plasma cells in the bone marrow. Surface Ig is absent. Express CD138, CD38, CD79a, and VS38c. Infrequently express CD19. Approximately 70 percent of myeloma cells will express CD56. Cytogenetics usually abnormal, although there is no specific cytogenetic abnormality.
Mantle cell lymphoma Monomorphous small to medium-sized B lymphocytes with irregular nuclei. CD5+ and CD23-; typically co-express surface IgM and IgD; the vast majority over-express cyclin D1. t(11;14)
Marginal zone lymphoma Polymorphous infiltrate of small cells with paler-appearing marginal zone-type differentiation in lymph nodes. Expresses B cell markers CD19, CD20, and CD22, and not CD5, CD10, and CD23. Chromosomal abnormalities, usually trisomy 3 or t(11;18), are found in most cases. May demonstrate mixed cryoglobulinemia +/- hepatitis C infection.
GC-associated lymphoid clones infiltrating the BM osteoblastic niche exhibit mesenchymal features in common with SLO germinal centers.(A–D) Histological examination of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) patient specimens. (A) The frequency of para-trabecular/osteoblastic localization of lymphoid malignant clones in 197 cases of B-NHL with bone marrow (BM) infiltration. Lymphoid clones of germinal center (GC)-derivation exhibiting preferential tropism for the BM osteoblastic niche include: follicular lymphoma (FL), T-cell rich histiocyte rich diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (TCRBCL), and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of GC type (DLBCL-GC). Non-GC-related lymphoid clones include: DLBCL- activated B-cell type (ABC); mantle-cell lymmphoma, (MCL); marginal-zone lymphoma, (MZL); lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, (LPL). (B) Para-trabecular (left panel) and inter-trabecular (right panel) localization of two representative cases of FL with BM infiltration. The distribution of the lymphomatous infiltrates around bone trabeculae or in the inter-trabecular lacunae is highlighted by CD20 immunostaining (inserts). (C–D) FL lymphoid infiltrates localizing within the osteoblastic niche area (left panels) and inter-trabecular BM (right panels) display a stromal architecture reminiscent of that of secondary lymphoid organ (SLO) GCs and are characterized by the expression of BM-MSC markers SPARC (C) and CD146 (right D).Source: Sangaletti S. et al, Molecular Immunology Unit; Department of Experimental Oncology and Molecular Medicine; Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale Tumori; Milan, Italy.
