B cell small lymphocytic lymphoma/chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Diagnosis in short

Small lymphocytic lymphoma. H&E stain.

LM mixed population of lymphoid cells with "proliferation centers": (1) nodular collections of larger cells (~ 1.5x the size of resting lymphocyte ~ 12-15 micrometers) with nucleoli) - surrounded by (2) small dark cells (~ size of resting lymphocyte ~ 8-10 micrometers) - predominant population, lack nucleolus
LM DDx other small cell lymphomas esp. mantle cell lymphoma (IHC similar)
IHC CD20 +ve, CD23 +ve, CD5 +ve, cyclin D1 -ve, CD43 +ve
Site blood + bone marrow/lymph nodes

Prevalence common
Blood work elevated WBC (≥5 × 109/L)
Prognosis good
Treatment often followup

B cell small lymphocytic lymphoma/chronic lymphocytic leukemia, often referred to as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (abbreviated CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (abbreviated SLL), is a common low-grade hematologic malignancy. It typically afflicts older individuals.

General

  • Very common.
  • Good prognosis - treatment may be simply followup.[1]
    • May transform to an aggressive lymphoma - see below.
  • Older individuals.
  • Elevated WBC ≥5 × 109/L - required for diagnosis (clinically).[2]

Richter's transformation

  • CLL/SLL may under go a Richter's transformation into a high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), e.g. DLBCL:[3]
    • Incidence of transformation <5%.
    • Prognosis < 1 year.

Microscopic

Features in a lymph node:[4]

  • Mixed population of lymphoid cells with "proliferation centers" - key feature:
    1. Larger cells (~ 1.5x the size of resting lymphocyte ~ 12-15 micrometers):
      • Nucleoli.
      • Form (nodular) collections.
    2. Small dark cells (~ size of resting lymphocyte ~ 8-10 micrometers):
      • Predominant population.
      • Lack nucleolus.

IHC

  • CD20 +ve.
  • CD5 +ve.
  • CD23 +ve -- occasionally negative.[5]
  • CD43 +ve.

Others:

  • Cyclin D1 -ve.
  • CD38 -ve/+ve.
    • CD38 -ve suggests a good prognosis.[1]

Panel

A basic panel - based on Rizzo and Nassiri:[6]

  • CD5, CD10, BCL6, CD23, cyclin D1.

Additional IHC:

  • CD20, CD3, CD43, BCL2.
