Mantle cell lymphoma with in situ or mantle zone growth pattern: a study of five cases and review of literature.

In conclusion, the "in situ MCL" is associated with incidental finding, indolent clinical course and lower tumor burden. The predominant usage of kappa light chain and frequent CD5-negativity observed in our cases are unusual. We review the clinical and laboratory features of "in situ MCL" cases in the literature.
