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
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
