Abstract
Monocytoid B-cell lymphoma is a distinct clinicopathologic entity occurring primarily in the lymph nodes of elderly patients. Its unique features compared with other low-grade lymphomas are also its characteristic morphologic features. These are its rare leukemic conversion and infrequent bone marrow involvement, and its relatively common association with autoimmune disease. Although MBCL is believed to be a low-grade, indolent type of lymphoma, its progression to high-grade lymphoma warrants close follow-up of patients.
