# | '''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}} | |||
