Abstract: Objective To investigate the correlation between immunophenotype and c-MYC rearrangement in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).  Methods According to the lymphoma cell immune marker CD10,B cell lymphoma 6 (BCL-6) and multiple myeloma oncogene 1 (MUM-1) expression levels,46 cases of DLBCL were classified into germinal center B cell-like(GCB) group and non-germinal center B cell-like(non-GCB) group. c-MYC rearrangement status was analyzed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in GCB and non-GCB groups. Results Of the 46 DLBCL cases,4 cases (8.7%) had c-MYC rearrangement. The 4 cases of c-MYC rearrangement belonged to the GCB group. There was no c-MYC rearrangement in non-GCB group. The c-MYC rearrangement had statistical significance between GCB and non-GCB groups (P<0.05). Conclusions The GCB group in patients with DLBCL has a high c-MYC rearrangement,and c-MYC rearrangement is a poor predictor for a part of GCB group. FISH is a rapid,accurate and sensitive technique for the detection of c-MYC rearrangement.
