DIAGNOSIS Cutaneous localization of Mantle Cell Lymphoma Mantle Cell Lymphoma FISH: presence of t(11;14)(q13;q32)
t(11;14)(q13;q32) Translocation between IGH and cyclin D1 (CCND1) genes It causes overexpression of CCND1 mRNA and protein cyclin D1 Cyclin D1 overcomes the cell cycle suppressors RB1 and p27/kip1 MCL: other secondary chromosomal aberrations
Mantle Cell Lymphoma Main differential diagnoses: - B-CLL: cyclin-D1 -; no t(11;14)(q13;q32) - B-lymphoblastic lymphoma: TdT +; CD5 - cyclin-D1 - - Blastic plasmocytoid dendritic cell neoplasm: CD4 +; CD56 +; CD Merkel cell carcinoma: CK20 +; NF +; chromogranin +
