Overview

Splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) is a lymphoma comprised of B-cells that replace the normal architecture of the white pulp of the spleen. 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. [1]There are no established causes for splenic marginal zone lymphoma. Splenic marginal zone lymphoma must be differentiated from other diseases such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia, follicular lymphoma, and mantle cell lymphoma.[2] The incidence of splenic marginal zone lymphoma increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is 50 years. Splenic marginal zone lymphoma affects men and women equally.[3] There are no established risk factors for splenic marginal zone lymphoma. According to the the U.S. Preventive Service Task Force (USPSTF), there is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for splenic marginal zone lymphoma.[4] Low Hemoglobin levels, high lactate dehydrogenase levels, low blood serum albumin levels, and genetic mutations such as mutations in NOTCH2 are associated with poor prognosis among patients with splenic marginal zone lymphoma. According to the Lugano classification, there are four stages of splenic marginal zone lymphoma based on the number of nodes and extranodal involvement. The most common symptoms of splenic marginal zone lymphoma include fever, weight loss, skin rash, night sweats, chest pain, abdominal pain, bone pain, and painless swelling in the neck, axilla, groin, thorax, and abdomen. Common physical examination findings of splenic marginal zone lymphoma include fever, rash, ulcer, splenomegaly, chest tenderness, abdomen tenderness, bone tenderness, peripheral lymphadenopathy, and central lymphadenopathy.[5]

Pathophysiology

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. [1]

Causes

There are no established causes for splenic marginal zone lymphoma.

Differential Diagnosis

Splenic marginal zone lymphoma must be differentiated from other diseases such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia, follicular lymphoma, and mantle cell lymphoma.[2]

Epidemiology and demographics

The incidence of splenic marginal zone lymphoma increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is 50 years. Splenic marginal zone lymphoma affects men and women equally.[3]

Risk Factors

There are no established risk factors for splenic marginal zone lymphoma.

Screening

According to the the U.S. Preventive Service Task Force (USPSTF), there is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for splenic marginal zone lymphoma.[6]

Prognosis

Low Hemoglobin levels, high lactate dehydrogenase levels, low blood serum albumin levels, and genetic mutations such as mutations in NOTCH2 are associated with poor prognosis among patients with splenic marginal zone lymphoma.

Staging

According to the Lugano classification, there are four stages of splenic marginal zone lymphoma based on the number of nodes and extranodal involvement.

Symptoms

The most common symptoms of splenic marginal zone lymphoma include fever, weight loss, skin rash, night sweats, chest pain, abdominal pain, bone pain, and painless swelling in the neck, axilla, groin, thorax, and abdomen.

Physical Examination

Common physical examination findings of splenic marginal zone lymphoma include fever, rash, ulcer, splenomegaly, chest tenderness, abdomen tenderness, bone tenderness, peripheral lymphadenopathy, and central lymphadenopathy.[5]
