Small lymphocytic lymphoma, light micrograph. B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma are the most common mature B-cell neoplasms and are considered to be different manifestations of the same disease. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia affects middle-aged and elderly patients. The mature-appearing neoplastic B-cells are predominantly in blood and bone marrow. In small lymphocytic lymphoma, the neoplastic cells are mainly extramedullary with very few leukemic cells in blood. This low magnification photomicrograph shows small lymphocytic lymphoma in spleen. There is nodular expansion of the white pulp (dark blue areas). The intervening red pulp is congested.
