Abstrakt: Immunophenotyping by flow cytometry is an integral part of the diagnosis and classification of leukemias/lymphomas. The expression of ROR1 associated with chronic B lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is well described in the literature, both in its diagnosis and in the follow-up of minimal residual disease (MRD) research, however, there are few studies regarding the expression pattern of ROR1 in other subtypes of mature B lymphoid neoplasms. With the aim of evaluating the expression of ROR1 and associating it with the expression of other important markers for the differentiation of mature B lymphoid neoplasms (MBLN), 767 samples of cases that entered our laboratory for immunophenotyping with clinical suspicion of MBLN were studied. ROR1 expression is predominant in CD5+/CD10- neoplasms. Overall, positive ROR1 expression was observed in 461 (60.1%) cases. The CD5+/CD10- group had a significantly higher proportion of ROR1 positive samples (89.9%) and more brightly expressed ROR1 than the other groups. Our results highlight the importance of evaluating ROR1 expression in the diagnosis of MBLN to contribute to the differential diagnosis, and possibly therapy of mainly CLL, and indicate that this marker could be considered as a useful addition to immunophenotypic panels, particularly for more challenging cases.
