Overview
Genes involved in the pathogenesis of splenic marginal zone lymphoma include immunoglobulin genes and CDK6 gene. On microscopic histopathological analysis, B-cells, villous lymphocytes, and sinus invasion are characteristic findings of splenic marginal zone lymphoma.
Pathophysiology
Pathogenesis
Genetics
- Clonal rearrangements of the immunoglobulin genes (heavy and light chains) [1]
- Most common chromosomal abnormality in splenic marginal zone lymphoma is the deletion of 7q region.[2]
- Other abnormalities such as gain of function mutation in 3q, 4q, 5q, 9q, 12q, 20q and loss of function mutations in 7q and 17p have also been found.[3][4][5]
- Most common genetic mutation is of NOTCH2 gene.[6][7]
- Other genes involved with decreasing frequency are KLF2, CARD1, TRAF3, MYD88,TP53.[8][9][10][11][12]
- Translocations of the CDK6 gene located at 7q21 have also been reported[13]
- There are several pathways involved in the normal functioning of the cells. Genetic dysregulation may affect these pathways resulting in abnormal function.
- Common genetic abnormalities and their affected pathways in splenic marginal zone lymphoma are summarized under:

Gross and Microscopic Pathology
- Splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) is a subtype of non-hodgkin's lymphoma comprised of B-cells.[22]
- It tends to involve spleen, bone marrow, liver and blood.[23]
- The microscopic features of these organs are described below:
- Spleen
- Nodular pattern of lymphocytic infiltration of the white pulp involving both mantle ad marginal zone component.[24]
- Biphasic distribution of B cell lymphocytes i.e small cells having dense chromatin and scant cytoplasm surrounded by intermediate size cells with interspersed blast cells.
- Red pulp may also be involved either sparingly or diffusely penetrating the sinuses.
- Bone Marrow:
- Various patterns of Lymphocytic infiltration such as intrasinusoidal, nodular, interstitial and intravascular have been observed.[25]
- Mixed pattern of lymphocytic infiltration with intrasinusoidal being predominant.[26][27]
- Cell population consists of small, intermediate and large lymphoid cells but small cells having large nucleus with dense chromatin and scant cytoplasm are present in abundance.[28]
- Lymph nodes
- Splenic hilar and peripheral lymph nodes may be involved but less frequently as compared to the other organs.
- Micronodular infiltration with no involvement of the sinuses.[29]
- Blood
