'''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).
 
==Microscopic==
Features:
*Small (lymphoid) cells that may be plasma cell-like (plasmacytoid):<ref>URL: [http://surgpathcriteria.stanford.edu/bcell/marginalnodal/printable.html http://surgpathcriteria.stanford.edu/bcell/marginalnodal/printable.html]. Accessed on: 6 March 2012.</ref>
**+/-Clockface nucleus.
**+/-Eccentric nucleus.
*+/-"[[Lymphoepithelial lesion]]" - gastric crypts invaded by a monomorphous population of lymphocytes.<ref name=pmid1452124>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Papadaki | first1 = L. | last2 = Wotherspoon | first2 = AC. | last3 = Isaacson | first3 = PG. | title = The lymphoepithelial lesion of gastric low-grade B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT): an ultrastructural study. | journal = Histopathology | volume = 21 | issue = 5 | pages = 415-21 | month = Nov | year = 1992 | doi =  | PMID = 1452124 }}</ref>
**Features:
**# 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>

*Other [[small cell lymphomas]].
*[[DLBCL]] - should be a distinctive region at low power.{{fact}}

The MALT1 associated [[translocations]] can be assessed with an [[ISH]] break apart probe for MALT1.
