The derivation of follicular lymphomas (FLs) from germinal centers is not only supported by their morphologic appearance with a nodular growth pattern and a germinal center–like cellular composition, but also by the presence of ongoing somatic hypermutation (a germinal center B cell–specific process) during their clonal expansion. The intraclonal sequence diversity of the tumor cells and their follicular growth pattern allows one to analyze lymphoma cell dissemination and the way the tumor “metastasizes” to distinct follicles. In the present study, we analyzed individual follicles of 3 FLs by micromanipulation of single cells from individual lymphoma follicles and amplification of immunoglobulin V region genes. Genealogical trees for the V_H and the V_L gene rearrangements were constructed to analyze the clonal relationship among individual cells of 3 distinct follicles of each case. In all 3 cases there is evidence that distinct tumor follicles are founded by many tumor cells, suggesting that there is extensive migration of the tumor cells among follicles. The observation that the tumor cells of FLs retain their follicular growth patterns despite this cellular migration supports the idea that they depend on the follicular microenvironment for their clonal expansion.
