Abstract
The small B-cell neoplasms represent some of the most frequently encountered lymphoproliferative disorders in routine surgical pathology practice. This report reviews the current diagnostic criteria for classifying small B-cell neoplasms and distinguishing them from newly recognized precursor conditions that do not appear to represent overt lymphomas. Newly available immunohistochemical stains and molecular studies that may assist in the diagnosis and classification of these neoplasms are also discussed.
