NOTE. Previously published criteria for the genetic (Ansell et al8) and PD-L1 IHC (Chen et al1) analyses were used. Tumor cells needed to exhibit 2+ or 3+ membrane staining (Int) in ≥ 5% of malignant cells to be considered positive for PD-L1. For PD-L2, 2+ to 3+ cytoplasmic or membrane staining in ≥ 5% of malignant cells was termed positive. Abbreviations: c, cytoplasmic staining; DLBCL, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; FL, follicular lymphoma; IHC, immunohistochemical; Int, intensity; m, membrane staining; MCL, mantle cell lymphoma; MF, mycosis fungoides; MZL, marginal zone lymphoma; NA, not available; NOS, not otherwise specified; PD-L1, programmed death ligand 1; PD-L2, programmed death ligand 2; PTCL, peripheral T-cell lymphoma; SLL, small lymphocytic lymphoma.

*

Two percent of malignant cells exhibited 2+ membrane PD-L1 staining.

In FL #2 and FL #4, 40% of nonmalignant cells were PD-L1 positive.
