  eMedicine - Lymphoma, B-Cell : Article by Ajeet Gajra, MD
Increased incidence of GI lymphomas is observed in patients with celiac sprue and inflammatory bowel disease.
Two principal cell types are observed in varying proportions: small cells with irregular or cleaved nuclear contours and scant cytoplasm that are referred to as centrocytes (small cleaved cells) and larger cells with open nuclear chromatin, several nucleoli, and modest amounts of cytoplasm that are referred to as centroblasts.
Mantle cell lymphoma is a tumor of older adults, with a male predominance.

 Homo sapiens molecular nosology - Cutaneous lymphomas
LyP type B is uncommon (< 10%) and is characterized by an epidermotropic infiltrate of small atypical cells with cerebriform nuclei similar to that observed in MF.
The infiltrates are composed of small lymphocytes, marginal zone B cells (centrocyte-like cells), lymphoplasmacytoid cells, and plasma cells, admixed with small numbers of centroblast- or immunoblast-like cells and many reactive T cells.
They may be surrounded by a population of small-to medium-sized cells with irregular nuclei, inconspicuous nucleoli, and abundant pale cytoplasm (marginal zone B cells).

  Primary Large B-cell Lymphoma of the Skin
Although primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) except for those of the leg are grouped together with primary cutaneous follicle center cell lymphoma in the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer classification of primary cutaneous lymphomas, they typically lack the usual phenotypic profile of follicular lymphoma.
Among the cutaneous B lymphomas, B-cell lymphomas of the lower limbs appear as a special subgroup with a prognosis that is possibly worse than that of primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas located on the trunk, arms or head, with more frequent relapses.
With a mean follow-up of 31 months, the study confirmed the worse prognosis of lymphomas with a predominance of centroblasts and immunoblasts (3 deaths) compared with lymphomas with a predominance of centrocytes, as well as their higher rate of recurrence (7/11).

 Theses from Uppsala University : 4567 - Immunoglobulin Gene Analysis in Different B cell Lymphomas
B cell lymphoma (BCL) comprises a biologically and clinically heterogeneous group of tumors deriving from different stages of B cell development.
The normal counterpart of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) has been postulated to be a naïve B cell and in hairy cell leukemia (HCL) it is considered to be a post-germinal centre B cell.
We conclude that stem cell selection reduced the number of clonal cells linearly, but purging could not totally eliminate the tumor cells from the graft, thus increasing the risk of a relapse.

 TEL2 gene cooperates with MYC gene to provoke B-cell lymphomas
B-cell lymphoma is a cancer in which the antibody-producing cells (B lymphocytes) multiply uncontrollably and crowd out other blood cells.
The gene TEL1, which works to slow cell growth and multiplication, is another member of the ETS family and is a known target of mutations in human leukemia.
It was already known that many human B-cell lymphomas over-express the MYC gene, either because the tumor cells acquire additional copies of this gene or because the cells suffer mutations that affect control over the level of MYC expression.

 1995 Scientific Report1995 Scientific Report
Although the lymphomas often occur in individuals whose immune systems are severely compromised, they can also occur in HIV positive individuals whose immune systems appear to be intact.
If malignant transformation of B lymphocytes occurs in vitro at a demonstrable frequency, it is also likely to occur in HIV-infected individuals, thereby generating a subset of lymphomas with a viral etiology.
Thus HIV, in concert with EBV, is oncogenic in B cells.

BHRF1, the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) homolog of the BCL-2 (proto-)oncogene, is transcribed in EBV associated B-cell lymphomas and in reactive lymphocytes (Meeting abstract).
Moreover, weak BHRF1 signals were found in 2 T-cell lymphomas where EBER 1/2 expression was detected mainly in sporadic reactive lymphocytes and in one reactive tonsil with sporadic EBER 1/2 positive lymphocytes.
When BHRF1 transcripts are detected in T-cell lymphomas or in Hodgkin's disease, this is probably due to the presence of reactive EBER 1/2 positive lymphocytes.
