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

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]
- Typically a small monomorphic (uniform size, shape and staining) lymphoid population.
- May be "large" (blastic variant of mantle cell lymphoma) with 1 or 2 nucleoli.[5]
- 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.[6]

Mantle cell lymphoma in a 56 year old woman. A. A blue sea of cells spares a lymphoid follicle in the upper right corner. B. Small, round to reniform cells contrast with the larger tingible body macrophage (arrow). C-F. Tumor cells are Cyclin D1. CD20, BCL2, and CD5 positive positive. G. About 60% of tumor cells were positive for Ki67. Tumor cells were negative for CD3, CD10, and BCL6.
IHC
- CD45 +ve.
- CD20 +ve.
- CD79a +ve.
- CD5 +ve -- important.
- Negative in case reports.[7]
- CD43 +ve.
- Cyclin D1 +ve -- key immunostain.
Others:
- CD23 -ve.
- Positive in CLL.
Molecular
- t(11;14)(q13;q32) / IGH-CCND1.[9]
