Extranodal Marginal Zone Lymphoma of Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT lymphoma)

Definition / Description of Disease

  • Extranodal lymphoma composed of morphologically heterogeneous small B cells, including marginal zone (centrocyte-like) cells, monocytoid cells, small lymphocytes, and scattered immunoblasts and centroblast-like cells [1]. Plasmacytic differentiation present in some cases.
  • Infectious, chronic inflammatory, or autoimmune conditions are implicated in pathogenesis of MALT lymphoma.
  • Clinically indolent (median survival 8 yrs), transformation to DLBCL occurs <10% cases [2].

  • Site specific:
    • Stomach:
      • Can be asymptomatic or cause epigastric pain, anorexia, weight loss, anemia, early satiety, occasionally fever and night sweat
      • Associated with Helicobacter pylori infection (32% - >90%)[7][8][9]
      • > 75% of cases respond to H. pylori eradication with regression of lymphoma
        • H. pylori eradication therapy is 1st-line treatment; Chemotherapy ± radiation if DLBCL transformation or disseminated
        • Cases with t(11;18)(q21;q21) are resistant to H. pylori eradication therapy
        • 5-year overall survival ~ 90%
    • Other organs: Mass and associated symptoms, higher chance of multiple site involvement and bone marrow involvement than gastric MALT lymphoma
      • Small bowel: Associated with Campylobacter jejuni infection in patients with α-heavy chain disease
      • Ocular adnexa: Associated with Chlamydia psittaci
      • Skin: Associated with Borrelia burgdorferi
      • Lung: Associated with Sjögren syndrome, cough and dyspnea (ref)
      • Salivary glands: Associated with Sjögren syndrome
      • Thyroid: Associated with Hashimoto thyroiditis
  • Most are low stage (stage I and II) at presentation, with up to 40% have disease with multiple sites involvement and up to 20% of patients have bone marrow involvement, and both are associated with non-gastric MALT lymphoma
    • Disseminated disease is usually refractory to chemotherapy
    • Recurrences may involve other extranodal sites
  • Serum paraprotein can be detected in one third of patients, particularly those with plasmacytic differentiation [10]. May be associated with Waldenström macroglobulinemia[11]

Sites of Involvement

  • Localized disease (most patients)
    • Stomach (35%, m/c)
    • Eyes and ocular adnexa (13%)
    • Lung (9%)
    • Skin (9%)
    • Salivary glands (8%)
    • Breasts (3%)
    • Thyroid (2%)
  • Bone marrow involvement in minority of patients (2-20%)
  • Multiple extranodal sites involvement
    • Higher in non-gastric MALT lymphoma cases
  • Generalized nodal involvement is rare (<10%)

Morphologic Features

  • Lymphoepithelial lesion
    • Specific but not sensitive, most prominent in thyroid and parotid glands
      • Can be present in some reactive conditions or in other lymphoma subtype
    • Infiltration and distortion of epithelial structures/glands (> 3 centrocyte-like cells causing epithelial damage)
    • Epithelial degeneration and glandular structure destruction
  • Diffuse or nodular pattern of growth
    • Expansion of marginal zone by cytologically heterogeneous cell population
      • Predominantly atypical centrocyte-like cells with small, cleaved, irregular nuclei with abundant cytoplasm
      • Monocytoid appearance with distinct rim of clear cytoplasm
      • Scattered large cells (centroblasts or immunoblasts) are present; up to 10% of all cells
      • Plasmacytic differentiation ± Dutcher bodies or Russell bodies (m/c in thyroid lymphoma)
    • Amyloid deposition
  • Transformation to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
    • Large cells form sheets or large clusters of > 20 cells
      • May coexist with MALT lymphoma at initial presentation
    • Multifocal disease
      • ~ 25% of patients have > 1 extranodal site of involvement
