The small cell lymphomas are a collection of commonly seen lymphomas that have a near-identical histomorphologic appearance.

The group includes:

  1. Small lymphocytic lymphoma/chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
  2. Follicular lymphoma.
  3. Mantle cell lymphoma.
  4. Marginal zone lymphoma (includes MALT lymphoma).
  5. Hairy cell leukemia.
  6. Immunoproliferative small intestinal disease (IPSID).[1]

Follicular lymphoma

  • Abbreviated FL.
Main article: Follicular lymphoma

Mantle cell lymphoma

  • Abbreviated MCL.
Main article: Mantle cell lymphoma

Marginal zone lymphoma

General

Classification

  • Comes in three different flavours:
    1. Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma.
      • If in mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue known as a MALT lymphoma, AKA MALToma.
    2. Splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL).
    3. Nodal marginal zone lymphoma (NMZL).

Microscopic

Features:

  • Small (lymphoid) cells that may be plasma cell-like (plasmacytoid):[10]
    • +/-Clockface nucleus.
    • +/-Eccentric nucleus.
  • +/-"Lymphoepithelial lesion" - gastric crypts invaded by a monomorphous population of lymphocytes.[11]
    • Features:
      1. Cluster of lymphocytes - three cells or more - key feature.
        • Single lymphocytes don't count.
      2. Clearing around the lymphocyte cluster.
    • Not specific for MALT lymphoma, i.e. may be seen in other types of lymphoma.[12]

IHC

Features:[13]

  • CD20 +ve.
  • BCL2 +ve.
  • CD21 +ve.
  • CD11c +ve (flow cytometry or laser scanning cytometry - only; not available for paraffin).
  • CD43 +ve/-ve.

Others:

  • CD5 -ve.
  • CD10 -ve.
  • CD23 -ve.

Molecular

There are several associated with MALT lymphoma:[7]

  • t(11;18)(q21;q21) / API2‐MALT1[14] - most common translocation in MALT lymphoma.[15]
  • t(14;18)(q32;q21) / IGH‐MALT1.
  • t(1;14)(p22;q32) / IGH‐BCL10.

The MALT1 associated translocations can be assessed with an ISH break apart probe for MALT1.

Hairy cell leukemia

  • Abbreviated HCL.

General

  • Name comes from appearance on blood smear - cell hairy.
  • Do to the biology, dry taps are common.[17]

Clinical:[18]

  • Pancytopenia.
  • Splenic enlargement.
  • No lymphadenopathy.
  • Good prognosis (with treatment), though (likely) not curable.

Gross

Features:[9]

  • Huge beefy red spleen.
    • Red as white pulp obliterated.

Microscopic

Features:[19]

  • Small cells (10-20 micrometers) with "Fried egg"-like appearance:
    • Well-demarcated fuzzy cell borders,
    • Clear/whispy cytoplasm and,
    • Central round nucleus.
      • Peri-nuclear clearing ("water-clear rim"[20]) -- key feature.

  • Abbreviated CLL and SLL.

General

  • Very common.
  • Good prognosis.

Richter's transformation

  • CLL/SLL may under go a Richter's transformation into a high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), e.g. DLBCL:[22]
    • Incidence of transformation <5%.
    • Prognosis < 1 year.

Microscopic

Features in a lymph node:[23]

  • Mixed population of lymphoid cells with "proliferation centers" - key feature:
    1. Larger cells (~ 1.5x the size of resting lymphocyte ~ 12-15 micrometers):
      • Nucleoli.
      • Form (nodular) collections.
    2. Small dark cells (~ size of resting lymphocyte ~ 8-10 micrometers):
      • Predominant population.
      • Lack nucleolus.

IHC

  • CD20 +ve.
  • CD5 +ve.

  • CD5 -ve.

Molecular

Subclassification based on molecular abnormalities (translocations, rearrangements):[26]

  • t(9;22) / BCR-ABL.
  • t(1;19) / E2A-PBX1.
  • t(12;21) / ETV-CBFalpha.
  • MLL rearrangement.
