Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) involving spinal epidural space (SEDLBCL) is relatively rare, constituting 1 8% of DLBCLs in Osaka, Japan The aim of this study was to analyze SEDLBCL cases for their clinical and histopathologic findings, including an association with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and immunohistochemical characteristicsWe analyzed the clinicopathologic findings of 27 SEDLBCL cases. They consisted of 16 males and 11 females, their age ranging from 37-86 years (median 64 years). Eight patients had stage I disease, 3 had stage II, 5 had stage Ill, and 11 had stage IV Based on the staining pattern for anti-CD 10, bcl-6, and MUM-1, the cases were categorized into 17 cases of the germinal center B-cell (GCB) type and nine of the non-GCB type There was a 4%-positive rate for EBV in the tumor cells When compared to nodal DLBCL, the frequency of patients with a high performance status (PS) is higher in SEDLBCL. Compared to the DLBCL of the central nervous system (CNS). the frequency of cases with high stage, 2 or more extranodal lesions, high international prognostic index (IPI), and GCB-type is higher in SEDLBCL There were no significant differences in the histologic features between SEDLBCL and nodal/CNS DLBCL. Univariate analysis revealed that advanced stage was an unfavorable factor for overall survival (P=0.060).SEDLBCL is different from nodal and CNS DLBCL, but an association with EBV is unlikely in every group (C) 2010 Elsevier GmbH All rights reserved
