Lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) and myeloid neoplasm can occur in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the frequency and clinicopathological features of IBD-associated lymphoid and myeloid proliferative disorder (LMPD) in Japanese patients is still unclear. In this study, we analyzed a total of 16 cases of IBD-LMPD for clinicopathological and histological features. Based on the status of using immunosuppressants such as biologics and immunomodulators, EBV infection, and histopathology, the 16 cases were classified into the Group I (high-grade LPD; n=7), Group II (low-grade LPD; n=6), and Group III (myeloid neoplasms; n=3). Most patients in Group I were undergoing strong immunosuppressive therapy, and the LPD lesions corresponded to high-grade B-cell or T/NK-cell lymphoma often with EBV infection, and that prognosis were worse.
