“acute” “chronic”
“immature” “mature”
“undifferentiated” “differentiated”

WHO CLASSIFICATION 2008: PRINCIPLES
Term ‘NHL’ becoming obsolete
Neoplasms of precursor cells classified separately from those of more mature cells
Leukemia/Lymphoma are different manifestations of the same disease
Mature lymphoid neoplasms are subclassified on the basis of differentiation, morphology, immunophenotype, genetic tests, and clinical presentation
CLASSIFICATION BASED ON:
Morphology and biologic features
Lymphoma, Myeloid sarcoma, and plasma cell tumors are diagnosed by tissue biopsy
Leukemias by blood counts and BM biopsy
Genetic tests – DNA analysis
FISH for follicular lymphoma
Karyotyping of CML for Philadelphia chromosome
CLASSIFICATION BASED ON:
Immunophenotype
Identifies molecules associated with some lymphomas and leukemias which are expressed on the outer surface of the cell
Includes IHC and flow cytometry
Examples are Burkitt lymphoma and Adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma
Clinical features
Myeloproliferative neoplasm, unclassifiable
SPECIAL TYPES OF DIAGNOSES
Provisional diagnoses
NOS histology – could be awaiting further test results or could be only information available. Update if more info comes in
NOS with possible/probable specific histology – DO NOT USE these ambiguous terms – code the NOS term until more definitively diagnosed
Ex. MPN (9960/3), probably PV (9950/3). Code 9960 until you have a definitive diagnosis
Diagnosis of exclusion – based on equivocal tests and clinical presentation
Examples: MDS, refractory thrombocytopenia
DIAGNOSTIC CONFIRMATION
Code Label Definition
1 Positive histology Tissue microscopically examined and positive
2 Positive cytology Fluid cells microscopically examined and positive
3 Positive histology PLUS• Positive immunophenotypingAND/OR• Positive genetic studies
Histology is positive for cancer, and there are also positiveimmunophenotyping and/or genetic test results.
