Call for Cases

The lymphoma workshop will be dedicated to provisional and emerging disease entities. The case submission is restricted to one case per presenting author; however, several cases can be submitted from one Institution. We invite you to start preparing your case under one of the following categories.

We are seeking cases that illustrate the following:

1. Emerging entities and molecular subgroups in large B cell lymphoma
   Examples include: large B-cell lymphoma with IRF4 rearrangement and its differential diagnosis, Burkitt-like 11q alterations and its differential diagnosis, molecular stratification of DLBCL, NOS.
2. Cavity associated lymphomas 
   Examples include: HHV8-positive and negative effusion-related lymphomas, DLBCL associated with chronic inflammation, fibrin-associated DLBCL, and other B-cell lymphomas presenting in body cavities or cystic spaces, as well as cavity-based T-cell lymphoproliferations such as breast implant associated ALCL.
3. The many faces of nodal and splenic marginal zone lymphomas
   Examples include: nodal MZL, nodal paediatric MZL, splenic marginal zone lymphoma and well documented cases of transformed MZL (BN2 group) (MALT lymphomas are excluded).
4. Cytotoxic T-cell lymphomas and EBV-positive nodal T/NK cell lymphomas
   Examples include: nodal cytotoxic T-cell lymphomas EBV-positive and EBV-negative (cases arising at extranodal sites are excluded)
5. Lymphomas with a T-follicular helper cell phenotype
   Examples include: examples illustrating the borderlines with peripheral T-cell lymphoma, NOS and reactive conditions, as well as the association with clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP).

The bone marrow workshop invites submission of cases in the following categories:

1. Emerging/provisional entities
   Examples include: MLNE with variant translocations; acute leukemias with newly described recurring genetic abnormalities
2. Myeloma/immunosecretory disease/Amyloidosis
   Examples include: TAFRO, POEMS
3. Unusual/other neoplasms involving the bone marrow
   Examples include: T-LGL and hepatosplenic T cell lymphoma, systemic mastocytosis

1. Ten H&E and 15 unstained sections (in cases with very limited tissue please prioritise unstained sections).
2. Please clearly label the slides with the ‘Lymphoma Workshop Number’ generated at case submission (e.g. EAHP22-LYWS-300).
3. Print out the lymphoma workshop case abstract that is generated after submission and send along with the glass slides.
4. Include contact details (email) of the submitting/corresponding author in the package that will be sent.
5. Please indicate that goods have “a commercial value of €1.00” to avoid customs and import duties.
6. Check list before you send your case:
   1. Are the slides properly labelled with the correct ‘Lymphoma Workshop Number’?
   2. Have you printed and enclosed the Lymphoma Workshop case abstract?
   3. Are the contact details (email and telephone number) included?
   4. Due to international restrictions, please send your slides by courier indicating a commercial value of €1.00.

1. 5 H&E and 10 unstained sections (in cases with very limited tissue please prioritise unstained sections).
2. Please clearly label the slides with the ‘Bone Marrow Workshop Number’ generated at case submission (e.g. EAHP22-BMWS-300).
3. Print out the Bone Marrow workshop case abstract that is generated after submission and send along with the glass slides.
4. Include contact details (email) of the submitting/corresponding author in the package that will be sent.
5. Please indicate that goods have “a commercial value of €1.00” to avoid customs and import duties.
6. Check list before you send your case:
