Marginal zone lymphoma, abbreviated MZL, is a common type of lymphoma composed of small cells.

General

Classification

  • Comes in three different flavours:
    1. Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma.
      • If in mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue known as a MALT lymphoma, AKA MALToma.
    2. Splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL).
    3. Nodal marginal zone lymphoma (NMZL).

Microscopic

Features:

  • Small (lymphoid) cells that may be plasma cell-like (plasmacytoid):[2]
    • +/-Clockface nucleus.
    • +/-Eccentric nucleus.
  • +/-"Lymphoepithelial lesion" - gastric crypts invaded by a monomorphous population of lymphocytes.[3]
    • Features:
      1. Cluster of lymphocytes - three cells or more - key feature.
        • Single lymphocytes don't count.
      2. Clearing around the lymphocyte cluster.
    • Not specific for MALT lymphoma, i.e. may be seen in other types of lymphoma.[4]

IHC

Features:[5]

  • CD20 +ve.
  • BCL2 +ve.
  • CD21 +ve.
  • CD11c +ve (flow cytometry or laser scanning cytometry - only; not available for paraffin).
  • CD43 +ve/-ve.

Others:

  • CD5 -ve.
  • CD10 -ve.
  • CD23 -ve.

Molecular

There are several associated with MALT lymphoma:[6]

  • t(11;18)(q21;q21) / API2‐MALT1[7] - most common translocation in MALT lymphoma.[8]
  • t(14;18)(q32;q21) / IGH‐MALT1.
  • t(1;14)(p22;q32) / IGH‐BCL10.

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