Primary intestinal T-cell lymphoma (PITL) is highly aggressive and includes celiac disease–related enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL), monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma (MEITL), and primary intestinal peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (ITCL-NOS). MEITL is the most common PITL in Asia, comprising of monomorphic medium-sized cells typically expressing CD8, CD56, and cytotoxic granules. Occasional cases with intermediate features between MEITL and ITCL-NOS are difficult to be classified and warrant further investigation. We collected 54 surgically resected PITLs from Taiwan, with 80% presenting with bowel perforation. The overall outcome was poor with a median survival of 7 months. Based on histopathology (monomorphic vs. pleomorphic) and immunophenotype, we classified these cases into 4 groups: MEITL with typical immunophenotype (n=34), MEITL with atypical immunophenotype (n=5), pleomorphic PITL with MEITL-like immunophenotype (n=6), and ITCL-NOS (n=9). There was no EATL in our cohort. Targeted next-generation sequencing of the first 3 groups showed highly prevalent loss-of-function mutations for SETD2 (85%, 80%, and 83%, respectively) and frequent activating mutations for STAT5B (64%, 60%, and 50%, respectively) and JAK3 (38%, 20%, and 50%, respectively). In contrast, ITCL-NOS cases had less frequent mutations of SETD2 (56%) and STAT5B (11%) and rare JAK3 mutations (11%). Our results suggest that there is a wider morphologic and immunophenotypic spectrum of MEITL as currently defined in the 2017 WHO classification. MEITL with atypical immunophenotype and PITL with MEITL-like immunophenotype shared clinicopathologic and molecular features similar to MEITL but distinct from ITCL-NOS, indicating that such cases may be considered as immunophenotypic or histopathologic variants of MEITL.
