Systemic Mastocytosis Associated with Splenic Marginal Zone Lymphoma with Villous Lymphocytes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The development of a second haematological disease during the course of systemic mastocytosis is a well-known phenomenon. In most of the cases, they consist of myelodysplasia or myeloproliferative disorders. The association with lymphoproliferative disorders has also been described, but it is uncommon and the relationship is not well established. We report a patient diagnosed with systemic mastocytosis who three years later developed a splenic marginal zone lymphoma with villous lymphocytes.

The group of marginal zone B-cell lymphomas (MZL) comprises three different entities, extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (currently called MALT lymphoma), nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (previously known as monocytoid lymphoma), and splenic marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (with or without circulating villous lymphocytes).[1-3] Primary splenic and no...

The number of primary splenic lymphomas being reported is increasing despite the rarity of this malignancy, but what really constitutes a lymphoma arising primarily in the spleen is still a matter of discussion. The authors choose the "restrictive" definition of a lymphoma involving the spleen and the splenic hilar lymph nodes only. In this way, the risk of epidemiologic or clinical overestimat...

BACKGROUND The marginal zone is an anatomically distinct B-cell compartment of lymphoid tissue with an abundant antigenic influx. Among marginal zone-derived lymphomas the WHO classification listed, in addition to extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of MALT type, two other marginal zone B-cell neoplasms: splenic marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (+/- villous lymphocytes) and nodal marginal zon...

Splenic lymphoma with villous lymphocytes (SLVL) is a low-grade lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by splenomegaly and circulating villous lymphocytes in the peripheral blood. It is considered to be the leukemic form of splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL). The genetic basis of this lymphoma type remains unknown. Conventional cytogenetic studies have identified frequent structural abno...
متن کاملNon-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 ...
