Non-MALT marginal zone lymphomas.
The concept of marginal zone B-cell lymphomas was developed in the 1990s for lymphomas whose cells originate from B lymphocytes normally present in a distinct anatomical location, the so-called ‘marginal zone’ (MZ). MZ has been described in the lymphoid organs—spleen and lymph nodes—and in nonlymphoid organs—mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) or non-mucosal tissue such as skin, orbit and ...
متن کاملPurine analogs in marginal-zone lymphomas.
In an area of lymphoma classification still being defined, marginal-zone lymphomas have distinctive immunohistochemical and cytogenetic features that distinguish them from mantle-cell and follicular lymphomas. There are three subtypes: the extranodal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas, the nodal monocytoid B-cell (MBCL) lymphomas, and the splenic marginal-zone lymphomas. The MAL...
متن کاملNodal 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 کاملClinical presentation and management of marginal zone lymphomas.
Marginal-zone lymphoma (MZL) includes three subtypes depending on the site of lymphoma involvement: extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT-lymphoma); splenic MZL; and nodal MZL. Beside a common cell-of-origin and similarities concerning a possible chronic antigenic stimulation by microbial pathogens and/or autoantigens, the clinical presentation is v...
متن کاملMarginal zone lymphomas with plasmacytic differentiation and related disorders.
Marginal zone lymphomas of all types (nodal, splenic, and extranodal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue [MALT]) may show plasmacytic differentiation. Distinguishing marginal zone lymphomas from other small B-cell lymphomas with plasmacytic differentiation, especially lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, or from plasma cell neoplasms may be challenging. Marginal zone lymphomas with plasmacytic differentia...
