Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of immunoglobulin (Ig) clonal gene rearrangements for mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of the parotid gland.
STUDY DESIGN: We collected and retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 21 patients referred to our institution between 2009 and 2017. Eight patients had been primarily diagnosed MALT lymphoma of the parotid gland and the remaining patients with lymphoepithelial lesion. Paraffin-embedded tissues were chosen for extracting genomic DNA and multiplex primer polymerase chain reaction amplification by using BIOMED-2 primers. Polymerase chain reaction amplification products were analyzed by heteroduplex analysis.
RESULTS: Generally, 17 patients were identified to have parotid gland MALT lymphoma; 47.06% of them had Sjögren syndrome. The sensitivity of IGH VH-JH FR1, FR2, FR3, IGK Vκ-Jκ, and IGK (Vκ-Kde and intron-Kde) as targets was 76.47%, 82.35%, 88.24%, 29.41%, and 35.29%, respectively. The sensitivity of combined application of the above-mentioned 3 IGH primers as targets was 100%. The sensitivity of combined application of the above two IGK primers as targets was 58.82%.
CONCLUSIONS: Ig clonal gene rearrangements assays using BIOMED-2 protocol can be a highly reliable diagnostic method for parotid gland MALT lymphoma. For patients with Sjögren syndrome along with histologically benign lymphoepithelial lesion, identification of Ig clonal gene rearrangements is important for routine differential diagnosis.
