Article Abstract
Objective: To summarize the conclusions of the 2023 Society for Hematopathology/European Association for Hematopathology Workshop in peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS).
Methods: There were 36 cases with a submitted diagnosis of PTCL reviewed in Session 2.
Results: The cases were classified based on submitted data and additional studies conducted during the workshop, including nodal PTCL with γδ immunophenotype (n = 5), PTCL-NOS subclassified into PTCL-TBX21 (n = 8) and PTCL-GATA3 (n = 8) molecular subtypes, PTCL-NOS expressing CD30 (n = 2), PTCL arising from an underlying low-grade T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder (n = 2), and nodal involvement by primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (n = 5). Additionally, we reviewed 5 cases of T-cell lymphoma with lymphoepithelioid features, including 2 cases that do not meet the current criteria for PTCL-NOS, with 1 included in PTCL-TBX21 and 1 in PTCL γδ described above. Three cases remain unclassified. We highlight the diagnostic challenges of PTCL-NOS, emphasizing the importance of performing a comprehensive panel of immunomarkers and molecular studies to establish the diagnosis and address the heterogeneity of these lymphomas. We identify rare cases of nodal γδ PTCL-NOS with a unique immunophenotype and TP53 mutations. We also discuss the features of PTCL-GATA3 and PTCL-TBX21, including enrichment for cytotoxic markers in PTCL-TBX21 and aberrant B-cell marker expression in a subset of PTCL-GATA3 cases. The differential diagnosis of PTCL-NOS cases expressing, as well as those with lymphoepithelioid features, is briefly discussed. The importance of access to clinical history and staging is emphasized, as demonstrated by cases of nodal involvement by primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas and cases that have progressed from low-grade lymphoproliferative disorders.
Conclusions: Peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified is heterogeneous with distinct emerging subgroups. The diagnosis is complex and requires a comprehensive approach.

Approximately 30-40% of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients will develop relapse/refractory disease, who may benefit from novel therapies, such as CAR-T cell therapy. Thus, accurate identification of individuals at high risk of early chemoimmunotherapy failure (ECF) is crucial. Methods.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has revolutionized the treatment of aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, particularly in relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma. Despite its transformative potential, significant challenges persist in optimizing patient identification and referral pathways to ensure timely and equitable access. This expert consensus, developed through the Delphi methodology, analyzes key barriers to the referral process and proposes structured solutions to enhance collaboration between referring treatment centers (RTCs) and qualified treatment centers (QTCs).

Background: Invasive central nervous system (CNS) aspergillosis is rare among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients due to preserved neutrophil function, despite significant CD4+ T-cell depletion. Diagnosis typically requires histopathologic confirmation, but polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing has introduced new challenges due to its high sensitivity but limited specificity.
Case Presentation: We describe a newly diagnosed 43-year-old HIV-positive male with concurrent Hodgkin lymphoma who presented with progressive neurological decline and a ring-enhancing brain lesion.
SGLT-2 Inhibitors Are Potent to Suppress Aggressive Transformation From Indolent Type of Adult T-Cell Leukemia/Lymphoma: Unique Insight Into Therapeutics for Diabetes-Related Hematological Malignancy.

Introduction: We previously reported that sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT-2) was ectopically overexpressed in adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) cells notably in aggressive type but in indolent type, and widely-used anti-diabetic SGLT-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) considerably attenuated proliferation of leukemic cells.
Methods: We performed retrospective analyses for 10 years to see whether SGLT-2i would prevent aggressive transformation in patients with indolent type ATL accompanied by diabetes. Nucleosome occupancy in the promotor region of the gene was also assessed to explore the possible involvement of epigenetic modification in such an ectopic overexpression.
The effective and safe administration of Epcoritamab in relapsed CD19-CD5+ DLBCL following CAR-T therapy.

Background: Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has transformed the treatment landscape for relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma, achieving a 5-year overall survival rate of 40-50%. However, relapse remains a major challenge, especially due to CD19-negative clones. Epcoritamab, a bispecific antibody targeting CD20 and CD3, offers a potential solution for post-CAR-T relapse; however, clinical data in this setting remain limited, particularly in Japan.
