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.
  5. Hairy cell leukemia.
  6. Immunoproliferative small intestinal disease (IPSID).[1]

Table of B-cell lymphoma

Small cell lymphomas:

Name Location Size of cells IHC Translocations Clinical Other
Follicular lymphoma Follicle Small, centrocytes, centroblasts CD10+, bcl-6+[2] t(14,18) Clinical ? Other ?
Mantle cell lymphoma Mantle zone Small CD5+, CD23-, CD43+, cyclin D1+[2] t(11;14)(q13;q32)[3] Clinical ? Other ?
Marginal zone lymphoma (MALT) Marginal zone Small CD21+, CD11c+, CD5-, CD23-[2] Translocations Clinical Other
Precursor lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia Location ? Small CD10+, CD5-, TdT+, CD99+[2] Translocations ? Clinical ? Other ?
Small lymphocytic lymphoma/chronic lymphocytic leukemia Location ? Small CD5+, CD23+, CD43+, cyclin D1- Translocations ? Good prognosis Other ?

Medium and large cell lymphomas:

Name Location Size of cells IHC Translocations Clinical Other
Burkitt's lymphoma Follicle Large cells CD10, bcl-6 t(8;14) (q24;q32) Rapid growth "Starry sky"
Diffuse large B cell lymphoma Follicle (?) Large 4-5X of lymphocyte MIB-1 >40% none/like follicular l. Poor prognosis Common among lymphomas
Name Location Size of cells IHC Translocations Clinical Other

Follicular lymphoma

General

  • A very common type of lymphoma.
  • Express BCL2.[4]

Microscopic

Features:

  • Abundant abnormal lymphoid follicles.

IHC

Features:[4]

  • CD10 +ve/-ve.
  • CD5 -ve.
    • +ve in mantle cell lymphoma.
  • CD23 -ve/+ve.
    • +ve in CLL.
  • CD43 -ve.
    • +ve in mantle cell lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma.
  • CD11c -ve -- flow cytometry only.

Molecular

  • t(14;18)(q32;q21)/IGH-BCL2 in 70-95% of cases.[4]
    • Should not be confused with t(14;18)(q32;q21)/IGH-MALT1 seen in MALT lymphomas.[5]

Mantle cell lymphoma

General

  • Comes in different flavours.

Microscopic

Features:

  • See histomorphology of small cell lymphomas.

MALT lymphoma/Marginal zone lymphoma

General

  • Abbreviated as MZL.

Classification

  • Comes in different flavours:
    • Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma.
    • Splenic marginal zone lymphoma.

Microscopic

Features:

  • See histomorphology of small cell lymphomas.

Hairy cell leukemia

General

  • Name comes from appearance on blood smear - cell hairy.

Microscopic

Features:

  • See histomorphology of small cell lymphomas.

Small lymphocytic lymphoma/chronic lymphocytic leukemia

General

  • Very common.
  • Good prognosis.
