    Abstract:
    AIMS: This study sought to clarify the molecular pathways underlying the putative evolution from lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) to cutaneous anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (c-ALCL) and lymph node invasion (LNI). METHODS AND RESULTS: We analysed nine sequential tumours from the same patient presenting with parallel evolution of LyP (n = 3) and c-ALCL (n = 1) with LNI (n = 1), combined with systemic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (n = 4). Clonality analysis showed a common clonal T-cell origin in the five CD30+ lesions, and a common clonal B-cell origin in the four DLBCL relapses. Array-comparative genomic hybridisation and targeted next-generation sequencing analysis demonstrated relative genomic stability of LyP lesions as compared with clonally related anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) tumours, which showed 4q and 22q13 deletions involving the PRDM8 and TIMP3 tumour suppressor genes, respectively. The three analysed CD30+ lesions showed mostly private (specific to each sample) genetic alterations, suggesting early divergence from a common precursor. In contrast, DLBCL tumours showed progressive accumulation of private alterations, indicating late divergence. CONCLUSIONS: Sequential cutaneous and nodal CD30+ tumours were clonally related. This suggests that LyP, c-ALCL and LNI represent a continuous spectrum of clonal evolution emerging from a common precursor of cutaneous CD30+ lymphoproliferations. Therefore, nodal ALCL tumours in the context of LyP should be considered as a form of transformation rather than composite lymphoma.
