Abstract

Mantle-cell lymphoma (MCL) is a B-cell malignancy with distinct molecular genetics and pathological features. Peripheral blood involvement has been reported with variable frequency, but information on the natural history of cases presenting with leukemia is lacking. This study aimed to determine the clinical and prognostic features of such cases. We studied clinical features, tumor characteristics, prognostic factors and outcome in 58 patients with leukemic presentation of MCL. Diagnosis was based on morphology, immunophenotype, presence of t(11;14), histology and cyclin D1 expression. The median age was 62 years and male:female 2.4:1. Presenting features included splenomegaly (74%), lymphadenopathy (45%), hepatomegaly (17%) and, in a minority, gastro-intestinal involvement or involvement of Waldeyer's ring; 10% had lymphocytosis alone. Six patients developed central nervous system disease. Median lymphocyte count was 58 x 10(9)/l, 55% had anemia and 17% had thrombocytopenia. Morphology of peripheral blood showed small-cell MCL in 15% of cases, typical MCL in 46% and blastoid MCL in 39%. Immunological markers showed a typical phenotype (CD5+ CD23 -) in 68%, and atypical phenotypes, CD5- CD23- in 17% or CD5+ CD23+ in 15%. CLL sc...Continue Reading

B-cell leukemia includes various types of lymphoid leukemia that affect B cells. Here is the latest research on B-cell leukemia.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

CNS Lymphoma

In CNS lymphoma, cancerous cells from lymph tissues or other parts of the body form tumors in the brain and/or spinal cord. Here is the latest research on this rare non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
