  • Snehal Patel, MD, PhD

Cancer Category/Type

Cancer Sub-Classification / Subtype

  • Splenic Marginal Zone Lymphoma (SMZL)

Definition / Description of Disease

  • Indolent mature B-cell neoplasm of adults involving the spleen, blood, and bone marrow
  • Splenic white pulp effacement by small lymphocytes and pale marginal zone involved by larger cells
  • Likely originating from mature B-cells of the marginal zone
  • The synonyms derive from circulating lymphocytes with cytoplasmic villous projections

Synonyms / Terminology

  • Splenic B-cell marginal zone lymphoma
  • Splenic lymphoma with villous lymphocytes
  • Splenic lymphoma with circulating villous lymphocytes

Epidemiology / Prevalence[1][2]

  • 1 to 2% of lymphoid neoplasms
  • Median age: mid to late 60's
  • Males ~ Females

Clinical Features[1][2]

Signs & Symptoms

  • Splenic enlargement and discomfort
  • Lymphadenopathy (rare)
  • Autoimmune hemolytic anemia or thrombocytopenia
  • Association with Hepatitis C virus

Laboratory findings

  • Cytopenias
  • Lymphocytosis (low level)
  • Small paraprotein

Sites of Involvement[1][2]

  • Spleen (white pulp)
  • Perihilar lymph nodes
  • Blood
  • Bone marrow
  • liver (less common)
  • peripheral lymph nodes (rare)

Morphologic Features[1][2]

  • Marked expansion splenic white pulp by neoplastic B-cells
  • Effacement of mantle zone and germinal center by small neoplastic B-cells
  • Residual germinal centers may be present
  • Small cells and large cells with more cytoplasm are seen in the marginal zone
  • Neoplastic B-cells show cytoplasmic projections in smear preparations

Immunophenotype[1][2]

Finding Marker
Positive (B-cell lineage markers) CD19, CD20 (bright), CD22, PAX5, FMC7, sIg (bright, monotypic)
Positive (subset) CD5, CD11c, CD70, CD103
Negative CD10, CD21, CD35, CD42, CD123, BCL1, BCL6, SOX11, LEF1, IRTA1, BRAF V600E

Chromosomal Rearrangements (Gene Fusions)

  • Rare but (some) recurrent translocations/gene fusions:
    • t(8;14)(q24;q32)/IGH-MYC[3][4]
    • KMT2A fusion in large cell transformation of SMZL[5]
    • t(2;7)(p11.2;q21.2/IGK-CDK6[6][7]
      • Also reported in CD5-negative monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis[8]
    • t(14;18)(q32;q21)/IGH-BCL2[9]
    • t(5;7)(p15.33;p11)/TERT fusion[10]
    • t(9;14)(p13;q32)/IGH-PAX5[11][12][13]

Characteristic Chromosomal Aberrations / Patterns

  • Ig gene rearrangements

Genomic Gain/Loss/LOH

Chromosome Number Gain/Loss/Amp/LOH Significance Prevalence
7q31-32 Loss (heterozygous) Unknown; possible haploinsufficiency of IRF5 tumor suppressor[14] 26–45%[1][15][16]
3/3q Gain (trisomy) Unknown 15%[1][16][15]

Gene Mutations (SNV/INDEL)

Gene* Oncogene/Tumor Suppressor/Other Presumed Mechanism (LOF/GOF/Other) Prevalence (COSMIC)
NOTCH2 Oncogene or Tumor Suppressor[17] Other 21%
MYD88 Oncogene GOF 7%
KLF2 Likely tumor suppressor in most contexts[18] LOF 20%[19]
TNFAIP3 Tumor Suppressor LOF 8%
TP53 Tumor Suppressor LOF 7%
BIRC3 Oncogene or Tumor Suppressor[20] Other 5%
CARD11 Oncogene GOF 4%
IKBKB Oncogene GOF 4%
SPEN Tumor Suppressor LOF 6%
NOTCH1 Oncogene or Tumor Suppressor[17] Other 11%
TBL1XR1 Oncogene or Tumor Suppressor[21] Other 7%
NFKBIE Tumor Suppressor LOF 2%

*Specific mutations in these genes may be found in cBioPortal or COSMIC.

Epigenomics (Methylation)

  • Epigenetic dysregulation expected on basis of genetic alterations in histone modifying and chromatin remodeling factors:
    • TBL1XR1 is a member of nuclear receptor corepressor (N-CoR) and histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) complexes
    • CREBBP is a histone acetyltransferase
    • ARID1A is a member of SWI-SNF complexes
    • EP300 is a histone acetyltransferase
    • DNMT3A is a DNA methyltransferase
  • Promoter methylation and gene expression study revealed two clusters of SMZL[22]
    • high methylation group compared to low methylation group showed
      • Methylated/repressed tumor suppressor genes and unmethylated/overexpressed prosurvival genes
      • Association with NOTCH2 mutations, 7q31-32 loss, and histologic transformation
      • Reduced overall survival
      • Reduced proliferation and reversion of phenotype in response to demethylating agents in vitro

Genes and Main Pathways Involved

Molecular Feature Pathway Pathophysiologic outcome
NOTCH2, NOTCH1, DTX, and SPEN mutations NOTCH signaling[23] Increased proliferation and survival
MYD88, TNFAIP3, BIRC3, CARD11, IKBKB, NFKBIE, and TRAF3 mutations NF-κB signaling[24][25][26] Lymphocyte development
TP53 mutations TP53 pathway Dysregulation of genomic stability and apoptosis
TBL1XR1, CREBBP, ARID1A, EP300, and DNMT3A mutations Histone modification and chromatin remodeling[23] Abnormal gene expression program

Diagnostic Testing Methods

  • Clinical, morphologic, and immunophenotypic findings and exclusion of other low-grade B-cell lymphomas are generally sufficient for diagnosis
  • No established specific diagnostic test currently exists
  • Molecular testing may help exclude other entities in some cases (see below)

Clinical Significance (Diagnosis, Prognosis and Therapeutic Implications)

Alteration Clinical Significance Note
BRAF mutations Diagnostic (exclusion) Present in hairy cell leukemia (HCL) and absent in SMZL[27]
MYD88 mutations Diagnostic (exclusion) Present in lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL) and rare but not absent in SMZL
t(11;14)(q13;q32)/IGH-CCND1* Diagnostic (exclusion) Present in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and absent in SMZL
t(14;18)(q32;q21)/IGH-BCL2 Diagnostic (exclusion) Present in follicular lymphoma (FL) and rare but not absent in SMZL[9]
t(11;18)(q21;q21)/BIRC3-MALT1 Diagnostic (exclusion) Present in MALT lymphoma and absent in SMZL
t(14;18)(q32;q21)/IGH-MALT1 Diagnostic (exclusion) Present in MALT lymphoma and absent in SMZL[28]
t(1;14)(p22;q32)/IGH-BCL10 Diagnostic (exclusion) Present in MALT lymphoma and absent in SMZL

*Cases previously reported as SMZL with IGH-CCND1 fusion should now be classified as MCL
