Popis: The characteristics of de novo diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with translocation of c- myc and immunoglobulin ( Ig ) genes (c- myc / Ig DLBCL), were investigated in 13 cases of c- myc / Ig DLBCL. Immunohistochemistry revealed five cases were positive for CD10 and BCL6 expression (CD10 + /BCL6 + ), five cases of CD10 − /BCL6 + /MUM1 − , one case of CD10 − /BCL6 + /MUM1 + and two cases of CD10 − /BCL6 − /MUM1 + expression, indicating 10 cases of germinal center B-cell DLBCL and three cases of non-germinal center B-cell DLBCL. Ongoing mutation of the Ig heavy chain gene variable region ( IgH-V ) was found in two cases with CD10 and BCL6 expression and one case showing CD10 − /BCL6 + /MUM1 − expression. These three cases of ongoing mutation of the IgH-V gene did not express BCL2, unlike those without ongoing mutation. These results suggest a heterogeneous immunophenotype and genotype for c- myc / Ig DLBCL, with CD10 − /BCL6 + /MUM1 − cases the most frequent.
