Haematolymphoid Tumours (5th ed.)

(General Instructions – The main focus of these pages is the clinically significant genetic alterations in each disease type. Use HUGO-approved gene names and symbols (italicized when appropriate), HGVS-based nomenclature for variants, as well as generic names of drugs and testing platforms or assays if applicable. Please complete tables whenever possible and do not delete them (add N/A if not applicable in the table and delete the examples). Please do not delete or alter the section headings. The use of bullet points alongside short blocks of text rather than only large paragraphs is encouraged. Additional instructions below in italicized blue text should not be included in the final page content. Please also see Author_Instructions and FAQs as well as contact your Associate Editor or Technical Support)

Cancer Category / Type

  • Mature B-cell Neoplasms

Cancer Sub-Classification / Subtype

  • Marginal Zone Lymphoma
    • Primary Cutaneous Marginal Zone Lymphoma

Definition / Description of Disease

Primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma (PCMZL) is an indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma arising in skin without evidence of extracutaneous disease at the time of diagnosis. The tumor is comprised of monotypic, CD5-negative, CD10-positive neoplastic small B-cells with monotypic plasma cells, and a variable number of reactive T-cells infiltrating the dermis, often forming follicles with reactive germinal centers. Clonal immunoglobulin rearrangement may be present, thus determining the subtype as class-switched versus non-class-switched heavy-chain immunophenotype. There must be no evidence of extracutaneous disease at the time of diagnosis and other cutaneous lymphomas must be excluded.

Put your text here (Instructions: Brief description of approximately one paragraph - include disease context relative to other WHO classification categories referring to the specific WHO book pages, diagnostic criteria if applicable, and differential diagnosis if applicable)

Synonyms / Terminology

  • Primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoproliferative disorder (acceptable)
  • Primary cutaneous immunocytoma (historical; no longer in use)
  • Primary cutaneous plasmacytoma (historical; no longer in use)

Epidemiology / Prevalence

  • 30-40% of all primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas
  • Predominantly affects adults in the fifth and sixth decades of life
  • Male preponderance
  • Unknown etiology in most cases
  • Possible causes include chronic antigenic stimulation by intradermally applied antigens (e.g. tattoo pigments, vaccines, tick-borne bacteria, etc.)
  • Association with Borrelia burgdorferi infection in endemic Europe but not associated in USA or Asia
  • Patients tend to have increased gastrointestinal disorders and various autoimmune diseases as well

Clinical Features

  • Present with multifocal or, less frequently, solitary red or violaceous plaques or nodules

Sites of Involvement

  • Skin
    • Most commonly on the trunk and arms

Morphologic Features

  • Dense dermal infiltrate composed of:
    • Small lymphocytes
    • Plasma cells
      • Located at periphery of lymphoid infiltrates or in subepidermal compartment
      • Heavy chain immunophenotype show different morphologies:
        • Non-class-switched forms
          • Sheets of B-lymphocytes and few T-lymphocytes
          • Scattered plasma cells
        • Class-switched forms
          • Large number of reactive T-lymphocytes but can occasionally be obscured by the neoplastic B cells
          • Peripherally clustered monotypic plasma cells
    • Follicles with reactive germinal centers (most cases)
    • clusters of plasmacytoid dendritic cells at periphery of infiltrates

Immunophenotype

  • Neoplastic B cells have the following immunophenotype:

  • Plasmacytoid dendritic cells
    • CD123 positive
  • Plasma cells
    • CD138 and CD79a positive
    • Plasma cells often have monotypic expression of immunoglobulin light chains
    • The immunoglobulin heavy chain can be either non-class-switched or class-switched
      • Non-class-switched heavy chain
        • Produce IgM
        • Positive for CXCR3 expression
        • Approximately 10% of cases have IgM positivity
      • Class-switched heavy chain
        • Produce IgG, IgA, or IgE
        • No expression of CXCR3
        • Approximately 90% of cases have IgG, IgA, or IgE positivity
    • IgG4 expressed by plasma cells in 13-35% of cases, though not related to IgG4-related disease.
