# | '''Marginal zone lymphoma''', abbreviated '''MZL''', is a common type of lymphoma composed of [[small cell lymphomas|small cells]]. | ||
==General== | |||
*Arise in the context chronic infections, e.g. [[Sjögren disease]] ([[salivary gland]]), [[Hashimoto thyroiditis]] ([[thyroid gland]]), [[Helicobacter pylori gastritis]] ([[stomach]]).<ref name=Ref_PCPBoD8_326>{{Ref PCPBoD8|326}}</ref> | |||
===Classification=== | |||
*Comes in three different flavours: | |||
*#Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma. | |||
*#*If in ''mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue'' known as a ''MALT lymphoma'', [[AKA]] ''MALToma''. | |||
*#Splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL). | |||
*#Nodal marginal zone lymphoma (NMZL). | |||

**# Cluster of lymphocytes - three cells or more - '''key feature'''. | |||
**#* Single lymphocytes don't count. | |||
**# Clearing around the lymphocyte cluster. | |||
**Not specific for MALT lymphoma, i.e. may be seen in other types of lymphoma.<ref>DB. 6 August 2010.</ref> | |||
