Clinicopathological analyses of 6 cases of mantle zone lymphoma (MZL) were carried out. The median age of the patients was 62 years with a range of 41 to 71 years and the male-to-female ratio was 1:1. Superficial lymph node (LN) swelling was present only in 2 patients. Giant LN swellings of the mesenteric or inguinal regions were present in 4, and bone marrow involvement by lymphoma cells in 5. Serum protein electrophoresis revealed a monoclonal protein of IgM kappa type in 2 patients. One of these also had polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia. An immunohistochemical study of 6 patients revealed LN-1-(-)+, LN-2+(-)++, sIgM+, sIgD+, CALLA +/-(-)+, DRC-1+(-)++. The immunohistochemical features of the cases were similar to those of small lymphocytic lymphoma or follicular lymphoma. Only 1 patients out of 6 achieved complete remission. Two patients died, one of pneumonia after chemotherapy and the other of cancer. The others were alive 4 to 100 months after the diagnoses. Although giant LN swelling and bone marrow involvement of lymphoma cells which were refractory to treatments were frequently observed, we consider MZL to be a slowly progressive and low-grade type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Deciduosarcoma is a rare, hormonally dependent neoplasm with features of malignancy, previously reported only in rabbits enrolled in chronic toxicology studies involving estrogens with or without progestins. An exploratory laparotomy was performed on a 6-year-old pet Dutch dwarf rabbit following palpation of a 6-cm-diameter abdominal mass. Grossly, the mass was fleshy and nodular, adhered to but not appearing to originate from the small intestine, with a smaller mass of similar appearance involving the uterus, and an effaced mesenteric lymph node. Histologically, the mass was characterized by spindloid cells and large epithelioid cells with abundant pale eosinophilic vacuolated cytoplasm and an infiltrative pattern of growth. Giant cells with large, bizarre, hyperchromatic nuclei were common. Cells were positive by immunohistochemistry for vimentin and progesterone and estrogen receptors and negative for pancytokeratin (AE1/AE3), cytokeratin 18, desmin, alpha-smooth muscle actin (SMA), and CD10. Based on histologic and immunohistochemical findings, a diagnosis of deciduosarcoma was made.
