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

| 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.
DDx:
- Other small cell lymphomas, esp. marginal zone lymphoma.
- Burkitt's lymphoma.
- Large B-cell lymphoma - for blastic variant of MCL.[5]

IHC
- CD45 +ve.
- CD20 +ve.
- CD79a +ve.
- CD5 +ve -- important.
- Negative in case reports.[6]
- CD43 +ve.
- Cyclin D1 +ve -- key immunostain.
Others:
- CD23 -ve.
- Positive in CLL.
Molecular
- t(11;14)(q13;q32) / IGH-CCND1.[8]
