It is prt of non-hodgkin s lymphoms, nd is chrcterized y eing ggressive (2). In the spleen, this pthology mnifests minly with splenomegly (3). The cystic form of the lymphom is extremely rre, in the literture we present cse presenttions, ut none, to our knowledge, with splenic involvement. Cse presenttion It is femle ptient of 59 yers of ge, with intermittent dominl pin of long durtion. In extr-institutionl studies, intr-dominl cystic lesions were found with no conclusive cytologicl findings. In order to expnd the studies, tomogrphy Computed tomogrphy (CT) (Figure 1) of the domen reveled splenomegly with solid, low density nd confluent nodulr lesions, nd multiple cystic lesions, the lrgest exophytic without cler origin (pncres vs. spleen). Mgnetic resonnce imging (MRI) with contrst medium (Figure 2) confirmed its splenic origin. A splenectomy ws performed (Figure 3) to clrify the etiology of the lesions nd the pthologicl study demonstrted mntle cell lymphom (Figure 4). Rev. Colom. Rdiol. 2017; 28(3): 4759-63 4759

Overview of Mntle Cell Lymphom MCL is B cell neoplsm originting in the mntle re of the lymphoid follicles. Three ptterns re recognized: mntle re, nodulr nd diffuse. These, efore immunohistochemicl techniques, show CD20 +, CD5 +, CD43 +, nd cyclin D1 + s nucler mrker. MCL hs lso een relted to the trnsloction of chromosomes 11-14 (4, 7). It ppers t men ge of 65 yers, with predominnce in the mle popultion (8) nd is usully dignosed in dvnced stges, where extrnodl compromise is found. The clinicl Rev. Colom. Rdiol. 2017; 28(3): 4759-63 mnifesttions re not very different from those of other types of NHL. It usully ppers with lymphdenopthy nd splenomegly (50%), B symptoms (30%), centrl nervous system involvement (10%) nd cutneous involvement ssocited with disseminted disese (9). The course of the disese is vrile. It cn e pinless or symptomtic nd chronic s the presented clinicl cse or, on the contrry, very ggressive, in the literture n verge survivl is mentioned etween 3 to 5 yers (10). 4761
Discussion The lymphom comprises group of tumors derived from cells of the immune system, heterogeneously histologiclly. It is the fifth most common tumor in the United Sttes nd the fifth cuse of mortlity secondry to cncer (4). It is divided into 2 lrge groups: Hodgkin s lymphom (HL) nd non-hodgkin s lymphom (NHL) (5), the ltter eing sudivided into B-cell lymphom nd T cells (4) (Tle 1). Lymphom is the tumor tht most commonly ffects the spleen (2), either primry or secondry (2). It my e y HL or NHL, lthough the second (1) is more common, which hs een found in up to 70% of postmortem studies (2). The histologic sutype tht most commonly ffects the spleen is lrge cell lymphom. On the other hnd, primry splenic lymphom is rre, representing only 1-2% nd hs the histologicl chrcteristics of NHL in most cses. Mntle cell lymphom is n ggressive B-cell NHL (6). It hs n evolution with reltively frequent relpses, short remissions nd, unlike other sutypes of NHL, therpy hs not een shown to e curtive (7). Tle 1. Sutypes of lymphoms Hodgkin No Hodgkin Tipo de linfom Nodulr Clssic Nodulr sclerosus Rich in lymphocytes Mixed Cellulrity Lymphocyte Depletion B cells T cells Lympholstic leukemi Chronic lymphocytic leukemi Plsmocytom MALT Mntle Folliculr B-cell diffuse Burkitt Lympholstic lymphom Mycosis fungoides Peripherl T-cell lymphom Angioinmunolstic Anplstic Spleen nd lymphom in imges According to studies showing high correltion of mcroscopic imges nd pthology, possile ptterns of lymphom in the spleen re descried (5, 2): Norml spleen, only with microscopic infiltrtion.» Splenomegly without focl lesion. This is the most common pttern. The MCLs tht compromise the spleen re mnifested minly y splenomegly, chrcteristic finding of this lymphom (11).» Single focl mss.» Multiple nodulr lesions tht my hve milir presenttion or multiple msses lrger thn one centimeter. In TC, the msses re usully low signl without significnt enhncement with the contrst medium (2). In some cses its density my e low, lmost like wter, ecuse of its high cellulrity (3) or necrosis of liquefction (2). Other reported fetures re dystrophic clcifictions secondry to necrosis, ut this is exceptionlly uncommon in untreted lymphoms (2). The sequences with T1 nd T2 MRI informtion for the evlution of spleen lymphoms hve low sensitivity ecuse lymphomtous infiltrtion hs ehvior very similr to tht of helthy splenic prenchym (2). The solid lesions re of low signl in imges with informtion T1 nd of high signl with informtion T2 (2). Altertions in the sequences with T1 informtion following the dministrtion of contrst medi llow more ccurte determintion of the extent of compromise in the spleen (2). Differentil dignoses of low signl lesions in the spleen correspond 4762 Mntle Cell Lymphom with Atypicl Rdiologic Presenttion: Cse Report.

to mcrocystic lymphtic mlformtion, the most common of ll. Also, we must think of infectious diseses, hemngiom nd, s lst option, the ngiom of the littorl cells (2). Cystic lymphoms reported in the literture re few, one of which corresponds to lrge, diffuse, heptic B-cell lymphom, mnifested s single cystic lesion (12). There re two cses in the literture studied s pseudocysts: one in the drenl glnd nd nother in the prtesticulr region, with dignosis of diffuse lrge B-cell lymphoms, n extremely rre cse (13). Another cse of cystic lesion of the lrynx tht corresponds to mntle cell lymphom is found (6). Finlly, diffuse lrge B-cell lymphom ws descried in the cystic jw (14). The cse is interesting ecuse it is primry lymphom of the spleen tht, in ddition to splenomegly, shows solid lesions of low signl nd cystic lesions, one of them exophytic of gret size with mss effect on the neighoring structures. The role of the imges is limited in these cses since the min finding is the splenomegly, which is cused y multiple pthologies. In ddition, it does not present ny specific signs for its dignosis; however, this dignosis should e tken into ccount etween splenomegly differentils.
