Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare specific subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma limited to the brain, leptomeninges, spinal cord, or eyes without any systemic presentation and relapse which mostly takes place in CNS. In more than 95% of patients, it is of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) type. Categorizing PCNSL to germinal center cell like or activated B cell like, as we usually do for DLBCL NOS, may not be applicable for predicting outcome. Possible prognostic significance of MYC, BCL2, and/or BCL6 rearrangements may be important given what we know about their impact in systemic DLBCL, but we have limited knowledge about the status of double or triple hit molecular changes in PCNSL. Here, we have investigated prevalence of these molecular alterations in PCNSL. Two independent tissue microarrays constructed from 78 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded blocks of …
