Small cell lymphoma (or small lymphocytic lymphoma) is a type of follicular B-cell lymphoma. A small cell, in this context, has a diameter of 6 to 9 µm.^[1]

While similar to chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), it primarily is found in the lymph nodes, while CLL is more often found in bone marrow and blood.

It is usually CD5+ and CD10-.^[2]

Epidemiology

Of all cancers involving the same class of blood cell, 7% of cases are CLL/SLL.^[1]
