    The Pathological Spectrum of Systemic Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL).
    Cancers (Basel) 2018 Apr 4;10(4). Epub 2018 Apr 4.
    Institute of Pathology and Neuropathology and Comprehensive Cancer Center Tübingen, Eberhard-Karls-University, Liebermeisterstraße 8, 72076 Tübingen, Germany.
    Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) represents a group of malignant T-cell lymphoproliferations that share morphological and immunophenotypical features, namely strong CD30 expression and variable loss of T-cell markers, but differ in clinical presentation and prognosis. The recognition of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion proteins as a result of chromosomal translocations or inversions was the starting point for the distinction of different subgroups of ALCL. According to their distinct clinical settings and molecular findings, the 2016 revised World Health Organization (WHO) classification recognizes four different entities: systemic ALK-positive ALCL (ALK+ ALCL), systemic ALK-negative ALCL (ALK− ALCL), primary cutaneous ALCL (pC-ALCL), and breast implant-associated ALCL (BI-ALCL), the latter included as a provisional entity.

    Purpose Of Review: Given the rarity of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), studies evaluating new therapies have typically grouped ALCL together with other peripheral T cell lymphomas (PTCL). Thus, the treatment paradigm for ALCL largely mirrors that of PTCL in general. In this review, we discuss the current standard of care as well as emerging therapies, including antibody-based drugs, in systemic ALCL as well as primary cutaneous and breast implant-associated ALCL.

    Lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) is classified as a CD30+ primary cutaneous lymphoproliferative disease. The phenotypic variability along the spectrum of CD30+ lymphoproliferative diseases is highlighted by the distinct histologic subtypes of LyP types A, B, C, and the more recently described types D, E, and F. We report the case of an elderly woman with a clinical presentation and histopathologic findings consistent with LyP, whose atypical CD30+ infiltrate uniquely demonstrated a spindle-cell morphology.

    Therapeutic Use of Brentuximab Vedotin in CD30+ Hematologic Malignancies.
    Anticancer Agents Med Chem 2017 ;17(7):886-895
    Division of Hematology, University of Siena, Siena, Italy.
    The CD30 antigen is strongly expressed on neoplastic cells in classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) and other hematologic malignancies (such as DLBCL and cutaneous TCL), while is almost undetectable on healthy tissues, representing an ideal immunotherapeutic target. Since unconjugated anti-CD30 antibody (SGN-30) demonstrated limited clinical activity, researchers' effort aimed to create an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), leading to discovery of SGN-35 (brentuximab vedotin), in which an anti-CD30 antibody is linked to the antimitotic agent monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE). In the first phase I study in CD30+ hematologic malignancies (the majority of patients with HL), the maximum tolerated dose was fixed respectively at 1. Read More

    CD30+ lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD) represent a spectrum of T-cell lymphoma including lymphomatoid papulosis and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). Epidermis overlying cutaneous CD30+ LPD often shows epidermal hyperplasia, hyperkeratosis, crusting, and ulceration and it is difficult to distinguish from carcinoma such as keratoacanthoma (KA) or squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Several cases of pseudocarcinomatous hyperplasia mimicking KA or SCC in CD30+ LPD have been reported. Read More

    Introduction: Brentuximab vedotin (BV) is a potent anti-CD30 antibody drug conjugate (ADC) that has been approved in relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) and anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL). Beyond these consolidated indications, BV has been tested in a number of different settings with promising results, leading for example to the recent approval as a consolidation after ASCT in high-risk HL patients.

    Areas Covered: Main emerging areas of clinical investigation of BV include the use as a single-agent or in combination with bendamustine in first-salvage therapy of HL (bridge to ASCT), in the frontline setting in combination with AVD chemotherapy in HL and with CHP in ALCL, in relapsed or refractory cutaneous T-cell lymphomas and finally in diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) expressing CD30.
