Original contributionSomatic mutation analysis of IgH variable regions reveals that tumor cells of most parafollicular (monocytoid) B-cell lymphoma, splenic marginal zone B-cell lymphoma, and some hairy cell leukemia are composed of memory B lymphocytes

Small cell lymphocytic variant of marginal zone lymphoma: A distinct form of marginal zone lymphoma derived from naïve B cells as a cutaneous counterpart to the naïve marginal zone lymphoma of splenic origin
2018, Annals of Diagnostic PathologyCitation Excerpt :In general, female patients were younger (median age = 58 years) than males (median age = 75 years). Follow up was obtained on 9 of the 11 cases [1,3-5,7-11]. At the time of the initial presentation, all patients were feeling well without constitutional symptoms and presented with limited disease in the context of a single lesion in 6 cases, 2 lesions in one anatomic region on the face in 1 case and multiple lesions of discontiguous regions in two cases.

2017, Best Practice and Research: Clinical HaematologyEvidence of canonical somatic hypermutation in hairy cell leukemia
2011, BloodCitation Excerpt :The presence of canonical SHM in both normal and malignant B cells has been considered as strong evidence of an antigen-driven mutational process.5,6 We and others have previously analyzed SHM in HCL and in other situations in terms of related factors to detect an antigen-driven process, including total R/S ratio, CDR/FR ratio of R-mutations, and p-multinomial and p-binomial statistics.11,14,18,31-37 Our previous study of these statistics in 23 HCL patients identified only 2 patients with strong evidence (P = .001-.003) of antigen-driven SHM.11
Splenic red pulp lymphoma with numerous basophilic villous lymphocytes: A distinct clinicopathologic and molecular entity?
2008, BloodCitation Excerpt :Although the present series does not resemble HCL, some overlaps exist. Indeed, common features include the male predominance, the massive congested red pulp pattern, the rarity of clonal chromosomal abnormalities, and the IgH mutational pattern (most cases mutated, low degree of intraclonal heterogeneity, and similar overrepresentation of VH3-23 and VH4-3426–30). In addition, immunophenotypic similarities include the expression of classical HCL markers (ie, CD11c, CD103, and CD123) but with a lower staining intensity than in HCL (Table 2) and a possible coexpression of preswitched (IgM/IgD) and postswitched (IgG) isotypes by the same cells (Table 2).
