Purpose This study aims to analyze the clinical,pathological,and molecular genetic characteristics of nodal follicular helper T-cell lymphoma,follicular type(nTFHL-F).Methods 7 cases of nTFHL-F were re-viewed.Clinical data were collected,tissue morphology was summarized,and immunohistochemical staining and mo-lecular testing were performed.Results The median age of patients was 62 years with a male-to-female ratio of 6:1.The initial symptoms included neck lymphadenectasis in 6 cases and abdominal discomfort in one.Six cases were in ad-vanced stages,while 1 case was in the localized stage.The tumors exhibited a vague,irregular follicular nodular pat-tern,without significant polymorphic inflammatory background or high endothelial vascular proliferation.Five cases showed a progressive transformation resembling germinal center pattern,and two cases exhibited a follicular lymphoma-like growth pattern.Tumor cells presented three distinct morphologies:centrocyte-like appearance,monocytoid B cell-like appearance,and atypical cells with abundant,transparent cytoplasm.Tumor cells expressed at least three follicu-lar T-cell markers.Testing for ITK::SYK gene fusion was negative in all cases(0/7).Next generation sequencing i-dentified mutations in TET2 gene in two cases(2/2),the RHOA gene in one case(1/2),and VAV1 gene in one case(1/2).The follow-up duration ranged from 2 to 64 months,with three deaths(3/7),and a median survival time of 37 months.Conclusion nTFHL-F predominantly occurs in middle-aged to elderly males,presenting with advanced clinical stages,and has a poor prognosis.nTFHL-F is closely associated with nodal follicular helper T-cell lymphoma,angioimmunoblastic type,and mya coexist within the same individual.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the number of removed lymph nodes(RLN)and patient prognosis during radical surgery for extensive cervical cancer(CC).Methods:Clinical data of 21416 pa-tients with CC who underwent radical hysterectomy between January 1,2004 to August 31,2018 in the Chinese Cervical Cancer Clinical Study was retrospectively reviewed.Restricted cubic spline(RCS)was used to analyze the dose-response relationship between the number of RLN and prognosis.The patients were divided into three groups according to the RCS and RLN number:1-17 group(8733 cases),18-26 group(8189 cases),and≥ 27 group(4494 cases).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Log-Rank tests were used to compare the OS rates and DFS rates between groups at 3 and 5 years.Multivariate Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the prognostic mortality risk.Results:① RCS results showed a U-shaped nonlinear dose-response relationship be-tween the number of RLN and prognosis(P＜0.01).When the number of RLN was less than 26,the risk of death decreased as the number of RLN increased,and the risk was lowest when the number of RLN was 26.②There were statistically significant differences(P＜0.05)in age,histological type,tumor diameter,nerve invasion,uterine invasion,vaso-lymph node space invasion,cervical invasion,number of lymph node metastasis,whether preopera-tive adjuvant therapy was received,postoperative adjuvant therapy,and whether postoperative adjuvant therapy was standardized among the 3 groups(P＜0.05).③Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that the 5-year OS of the 1-17 group,18-26 group,and ≥ 27 group were 90.23％,92.28％,and 91.61％,respectively,and the 5-year DFS were 85.32％,87.90％,and 87.18％,respectively.The differences between the three groups were sta-tistically significant(P＜0.01).④The results of multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that RLN number in the range of 1-17 was a significant risk factor for the 3-and 5-year OS and DFS,when compared to the 18-26 RLN group(HR＞1,P＜0.05).Conclusions:RLN number may be one of the prognostic indicators of CC.When the number of RLNs is between 18-26,the prognosis of the patient may be better.The number of RLN in the range of 1-17 may increase the risk of recurrence or death in CC patients.
