Presentation: Aggressive non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma

  • Morphological features are most compatible with Burkitt lymphoma

  • FISH testing for MYC-r was negative

  • Aventa Lymphoma testing detected cryptic IgH::MYC rearrangement missed due to design of break-apart FISH probes

  • Oncologist added CNS prophylaxis to treatment plan

Aventa Lymphoma resolved diagnosis and identified need for more aggressive treatment

Presentation: Atypical lymphoid infiltrate

Presentation: Atypical lymphoid infiltrate

  • Pathology consistent with primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, NOS with T-follicular helper phenotype

  • Aventa Lymphoma testing detected unanticipated TRA::TCL1A rearrangement, along with an otherwise complex karyotype

  • Rearrangement prompted reconsideration of diagnosis to T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL)

  • Confirmatory TCL1A IHC and FISH studies are underway

Aventa Lymphoma changed diagnosis

Presentation: Snoring evaluation finds abnormal follicular growth

  • Cells expressed IRF4

  • IRF4 rearrangement negative via commercial FISH and DNA/RNA NGS testing

  • Aventa Lymphoma testing detected IgH::IRF4 rearrangement that was missed because one of the break-apart FISH probes used previously targeted a region deleted in this patient

  • With IRF4-driven lymphoma confirmed, patient received mild chemotherapy – an alternative diagnosis such as DLBCL or follicular lymphoma could have resulted in more aggressive treatment

  • Patient achieved complete remission

Aventa Lymphoma resolved diagnostic dilemma and informed optimal treatment

Presentation: Diffuse B-Cell Lymphoma

Presentation: Diffuse B-Cell Lymphoma

  • FISH testing for MYC was positive, FISH testing for BCL2 was negative – patient diagnosed as single-hit DLBCL and treated using standard chemotherapy

  • Retrospective Aventa Lymphoma testing detected IgL::BCL2 rearrangement that had been missed because dual fusion FISH probes targeting the wrong partner (IgH::BCL2 ) were used

  • Patient passed away within 9 months of diagnosis; presence of BCL2 rearrangement would have classified patient as higher-risk double-hit DLBCL and possibly changed treatment selection

Aventa Lymphoma would have prompted consideration of more aggressive treatment

Presentation: Lymphoma diagnosed as DLBCL

Presentation: Lymphoma diagnosed as DLBCL

  • FISH testing for MYC and BCL2 was negative; FISH testing for BCL6 was positive – a diagnosis of single-hit DLBCL was made, and standard R-CHOP treatment was administered

  • Retrospective Aventa Lymphoma testing detected IgH::CCND1 rearrangement, which was confirmed by IHC -- CCND1 was not tested for via FISH due to DLBCL diagnosis

  • Patient progressed and passed away within 8 months of diagnosis

  • Detection of CCND1 rearrangement would have prompted reconsideration of diagnosis to aggressive mantle cell lymphoma and alternative treatment, with potentially improved outcome

Aventa Lymphoma would have changed diagnosis and treatment selection
