Workshop Case # 8 (H 4205/07) 53 y old male patient had a history of gastrectomy 15 years earlier for gastric carcinoma.on routine sonographic and CT control an enlarged lymph node was detected in the hepatoduodenal ligament. Biopsy taken suspecting a late recurrence or metastasis.sent as consultation case because of concern of the patient. A reactive lymphofollicular hyperplasia?

In situ ( early ) and indolent Mantle cell lymphoma? In situ mantle cell lymphoma may not require teatment( Nodit et al. Hum. Pathol. (2003);Richard et al. J.Clin.Pathol.(2006)) May be limited involvement in common and progressive MCL Indolent MCL :Blood, BM and Spleen Involvement without lymphadenopathy SOX11, a new marker of mantle cell lymphoma, is usually negative in indolent and in situ mantle cell lymphoma
Ø MCLIS is a very rare phenomenon in patients without known MCL, in good relationship to the very rare t(11;14)+ B cells in healthy people Ø However, MCL patients show in up to 27% preclinical Infiltration of Cyclin D1+ Cells, only detectable by immunohistochemistry ØIn contrast, 2,3% of unselected lymph node biopsies in 3/133 patients may show in situ FL by immune histochemical analysis and FISH Patrick Adam et al.

Commentary Terminology similar to FL in situ (Cong et al Blood (2002) having a similar overall appearance May behave differently, few published follow-up, In situ and early stages may differ in SOCS 11 reactivity Most cases represent early involvement by MCL Interesting and controversial concept: Pre- vs. Early stage MCL biologically important

Take home Message In situ stages of FL and MCL may not been seen in H&E stained sections and hidden in a lymphofollicular hyperplasia May be a preneoplastic stage ( and hyperplasia) of t( 14;18)+ cells in healthy individuals in FL Has to be differentiated from partial involvement of lymph nodes by FL In MCL in situ stage may already been an early involvement.speed of clonal evolution and tumor progression dependent of biological features of tumor cells These preclinical stages need exact staging, but otherwise may be followed without needing treatment
