| Abstract | Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a B cell lymphoma with four morphologic variants recognized by the current World Health Organization classification. MCL mimicking marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) (MCL mimicking MZL) is the rarest variant and could be a potential diagnostic pitfall due to its deceiving “monocytoid” appearance. We report two cases of extranodal MCL mimicking MZL occurring at different sites—the oropharynx and the rectosigmoid colon. Both cases showed unexpected diffuse submucosal lymphoid infiltration of small- to medium-sized lymphocytes with focal monocytoid appearance. Immunohistochemistry showed the presence of an abnormal CD5(−)/CD10(−) B cell population expressing cyclin D1. The diagnosis of MCL was further substantiated by cytogenetic evidence of t(11;14)(q13;q32). Ki-67 proliferation indexes of both cases were low. In summary, MCL mimicking MZL may have unusual morphologic and immunophenotypic characteristics that could be a diagnostic pitfall. |
