الوصف: Purpose Large B‐cell lymphoma with IRF4 rearrangement (LBCL, IRF4 +) has been recently recognized as a specific entity that is frequently associated with young age and favorable prognosis. However, whether the good outcome of the disease is due to IRF4 + or other factors remains obscure. We thus analyzed 100 young patients with primary head and neck LBCL to see the clinicopathologic correlates of IRF4 +. Methods The histopathology, immunophenotype, IRF4 status of the tumors, and clinical data were reviewed. Results Twenty‐one tumors were diagnosed as LBCL, IRF4 +, which were more frequently associated with a follicular growth pattern, medium‐sized blastoid cytology, germinal center B‐cell‐like, and CD5+ phenotype, compared with IRF4− ones. While most of the patients received chemotherapy with or without radiation, eight IRF4 + patients received mere surgical resection of the tumor and exhibited excellent outcome. IRF4 + cases featured a significantly higher complete remission rate, and better survivals compared with IRF4 − ones. Multivariate analysis confirmed IRF4 + correlates with a better survival. Conclusion Our work confirmed the unique clinicopathologic features of LBCL, IRF4 +, and disclosed for the first time the independent favorable prognostic impact of IRF4 +. These findings may further unravel the heterogeneity of LBCL occurring in youth, and aid in risk stratification and tailoring the therapeutic strategy.
