Abstrakt: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a rare form of aggressive B-cell lymphoma with limited molecular information reported regarding interferon regulatory factor 4 ( IRF4 ) status. Here, we presented 3 EBV-positive DLBCL cases with IRF4 rearrangement (EBV+DLBCL- IRF4 -R) verified by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Three patients, including 1 male and 2 females (median age: 64 y; range: 45 to 68 y), had normal immune function. During a median follow-up of 12 months (range: 0 to 24 mo), 2 patients succumbed to the disease, and 1 patient achieved complete response. Three tumors were present in the mediastinum, stomach, and thalamus, respectively. All three tumors exhibited DLBCL morphology and were identified as the non-germinal center B-cell subtype, with EBV-encoded small RNA positivity ranging from 70% to 80%. RNA sequencing was able to identify RHOH and IGH as fusion partners of IRF4 in two cases. No MYC and BCL2 rearrangements were detected in 3 cases by FISH and RNA sequencing. Next-generation sequencing revealed a low mutation burden, and only IRF4 was recurrently mutated in two EBV+DLBCL- IRF4 -R cases. Using the LymphGen 2.0 classifier, 1 case was classified as the MCD (including MYD88L265P and CD79B mutations) subtype. We report rare EBV+DLBCL- IRF4 -R that may enhance our understanding of the diverse spectrum of large B-cell lymphoma.
