Overview

Comparative genomic hybridisation (CGH) allows to detect genetic abnormalities associated withpoor prognosis in subset of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Amplification of2p13-16 represents an adverse genetic sign especially in extranodal DLBCL. In the present case,2p13-16 amplification was revealed by CGH in extranodal DLBCL. It was localized in the mesenteryand remained resistant to the chemotherapy (CHOP). A patient, 72-year-old female, died 10weeks after the diagnosis had been made. Rapid lethal course of the disease confirms pooroutlook for patients with 2p13-16 and supports a role of CGH as a sensitive method in prognosisfor patients with DLBCL.

Key words:
comparative genomic hybridization – 2p13-16 amplification – diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
