摘要
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive plasma cell neoplasms (PCNs) in immunocompetent patients are a rare entity, the clinicopathological and prognostic features of which have not been well characterized. Fifteen cases of EBV-positive PCN arising in immunocompetent patients from south China were retrospectively analyzed, and an additional 44 cases from the literature were reviewed. The overall EBV-positive rate defined by EBV-encoded small RNAs (EBERs) in-situ hybridization of PCNs was 12.3% (15/122), and it was significantly higher in plasmacytoma (17.1%, 13/76) than in plasma cell myeloma/multiple myeloma (4.3%, 2/46; P =0.031). The age of the patients ranged from 17 to 79 years, with a median age of 56 years. There was a large preponderance of men, with a male-to-female ratio of 4:1. Solitary plasmacytoma of bone (23.8%, 5/21) had comparable EBV-encoded small RNAs-positive rates with extramedullary plasmacytoma arising in the upper respiratory tract (19.5%, 8/41; P =0.949). Anaplastic and classic cytologic appearance was observed in 61.5% (8/13) and 38.5% (5/13) of EBV-positive plasmacytomas, respectively. Cases with an anaplastic cytologic appearance had a significantly higher Ki-67 proliferation index than those with a classic cytologic appearance (median: 55% vs. 10%, P =0.001). In the combined cohorts, anaplastic/plasmablastic cytologic appearance was significantly more common in extramedullary plasmacytoma arising in the upper respiratory tract (72.0%, 18/25) than outside the upper respiratory tract (11.1%, 1/9; P =0.006). Among the 59 cases of EBV-positive PCN, survival data of 34 cases were available for analysis, including 30 cases of plasmacytoma and 4 cases of plasma cell myeloma/multiple myeloma. There was no statistically significant difference in overall survival between patients with EBV-positive plasmacytomas in the combined cohorts and EBV-negative plasmacytomas in the present cohort. The prevalence of EBV in PCN in immunocompetent patients varies according to histologic subtype and tumor location. Compared with EBV-negative cases, EBV-positive plasmacytomas tend to have an anaplastic/plasmablastic cytologic appearance. No significant impact of EBV infection on clinical outcomes is observed in the limited number of reported cases.
