Mantle cell lymphoma, abbreviated MCL, is less common small cell lymphoma that is relatively aggressive when compared to other small cell lymphomas.

Mantle cell lymphoma
Diagnosis in short

Mantle cell lymphoma. H&E stain.
LM small monomorphic (uniform size, shape and staining) lymphoid population with abundant mitoses, +/-scattered epithelioid histiocytes (should not be confused with tingible-body macrophages), +/-sclerosed blood vessels
Subtypes blastic variant
LM DDx other small cell lymphomas (esp. MALT lymphoma), Burkitt lymphoma
IHC cyclin D1 +ve, CD5 +ve, CD43 +ve, CD20 +ve, CD23 -ve
Molecular t(11;14)(q13;q32) / IGH-CCND1
Site lymph node, GI tract, other sites
Prevalence not common
Prognosis moderately aggressive to poor

General

  • Relatively aggressive - guarded prognosis.[1]
  • Rare ~ 2% of non-Hogkin's lymphoma in a series of over 4000 patients.[2]

GI tract - typically:[3]

  • Abdominal pain (~37% of cases) or GI bleeding (~26% of cases).

Gross

  • GI tract: polypoid lesions (~50% of cases).[3]

Microscopic

Features:[4]

  • Small monomorphic (uniform size, shape and staining) lymphoid population.
  • Abundant mitoses.
  • Scattered epithelioid histiocytes (should not be confused with tingible-body macrophages).
  • Sclerosed blood vessels.

IHC

  • CD45 +ve.
  • CD20 +ve.
  • CD79a +ve.
  • CD5 +ve -- important.
    • Negative in case reports.[5]
  • CD43 +ve.
  • Cyclin D1 +ve -- key immunostain.

Others:

  • CD23 -ve.
    • Positive in CLL.

Molecular

  • t(11;14)(q13;q32) / IGH-CCND1.[7]
