Nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphomas may arise from different subsets of marginal zone B lymphocytes.
Nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MZL) is a rare and not extensively studied entity that accounts for approximately 2% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Complementarity-determining regions 2 and 3 (CDR2, CDR3) of the immunoglobulin heavy-chain variable region (V(H)) genes were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), cloned, and sequenced in 8 patients with nodal MZL. All showed a potential...
متن کاملBone marrow involvement by marginal zone B-cell lymphomas of different types.
We compared the morphologic findings of different types of marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MZL) involving the bone marrow (BM), including 18 splenic (SMZL), 6 extranodal (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma), and 6 nodal cases. The median percentage of BM involvement was 15%, and multiple overlapping patterns of infiltration were observed in all MZL types. The most frequent patterns were ...
متن کاملFrequent p53 gene involvement in splenic B-cell leukemia/lymphomas of possible marginal zone origin.
A phenotypic and molecular evaluation was made of 15 patients with mature B-cell leukemia/lymphoma showing exclusive spleen and bone marrow involvement. According to French-American-British criteria, these cases could not be classified as classical B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, hairy cell leukemia and its variant forms, splenic lymphoma with villous lymphocytes, or leukemic phase non-Hod...
متن کامل[Splenic marginal zone B-cell lymphoma with epidermotropic skin involvement].
Marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MZL) is subclassified into extranodal MZL of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (including cutaneous lymphomas), splenic MZL, and nodal MZL. We report the case of a 68-year-old man with erythematous-violaceous plaques and nodules. Skin biopsy showed an epidermotropic lymphocytic infiltration and cytology and immunohistochemistry were consistent with MZL. The workup...
متن کاملMarginal zone lymphomas: management of nodal, splenic, and MALT NHL.
Marginal zone lymphomas are indolent B-cell lymphomas that originate from the marginal zone of B-cell follicles. For several subtypes, the initiation of disease appears to be a consequence of chronic infection and/ or inflammation. While the initial lymphoid hyperplasia is driven by physiologic antigenic stimulation, additional oncogenic events, such as chromosomal translocations leading to con...
