Diagnosis • Indolent mantle cell lymphoma (2001) • Pleomorphic mantle cell lymphoma (2009)
MCL Variants • Blastoid • Fine chromatin • High mitotic rate (20-30/10 hpf) • High proliferative fraction (Ki-67) • Pleomorphic • Large with oval to irregular nuclear contours • Prominent nucleoli, pale cytoplasm
Indolent Mantle Cell • Typical MCL • Widespread disease at diagnosis • Survival 3-5 years with chemotherapy • Indolent MCL • Bone marrow/spleen/GI-based disease • Usually no lymphadenopathy • 7-10 year survival (often untreated)
Indolent Populations • PB/Bone marrow only • Ondrejka et al (2011) • PB/Bone marrow, spleen, GI tract • Orchard et al (2003) • Fernandez et al (2010)
Gene Expression Profiling • SOX11 (2p25.3) • Involved in neuronal development • Possibly a tumor-suppressor gene in MCL • Immunohistochemistry • Expressed in 78-93% of MCL cases • Expressed in many cyclin D1 negative cases • Expressed in B/T-LBL, Burkitt, T-PLL, Hairy cell • Negative expression in many indolent cases • Not present in CLL/SLL, marginal zone, FL, Myeloma with t(11;14)
Take Home Points: MCL • Clinical and morphologic variants exist • Recommend Cyclin D1 on CD5 negative splenectomy specimens • SOX11 may be helpful • Further study is needed
