title: BCL10 gene amplification associated with strong nuclear BCL10 expression in a diffuse large B cell lymphoma with IGH-BCL2 fusion.
abstract: Cytogenetic investigation of a nodal diffuse large B cell lymphoma carrying an IGH-BCL2-fusion revealed a homogeneously staining region at chromosome 1p21-22. Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) demonstrated heterogeneous BCL10 gene amplification in tumour cells. Immunohistochemistry showed heterogeneous over-expression of the protein in the nuclei of tumour cells, similar to that seen in MALT lymphoma cells with t(1;14)(p22;q32).
