Overview
Other diagnostic studies for the diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma include bone marrow aspiration, lumbar puncture, colonoscopy, upper endoscopy, laparoscopy, and laparotomy.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Other diagnostic studies for the diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma include[1]:
- Bone marrow aspiration
- Lumbar puncture
- Colonoscopy
- Upper endoscopy
- Laparoscopy (rarely performed)
- Laparotomy (rarely performed)
Bone Marrow Aspiration
Mantle cell lymphoma is a systemic disease with frequent involvement of the bone marrow and gastrointestinal tract (generally showing polyposis in the lining). There is also a not-uncommon leukemic phase, marked by presence in the blood. For this reason, both the peripheral blood and bone marrow are evaluated for the presence of malignant cells.
Lumbar Puncture
In some patients with the blastic variant, lumbar puncture is done to evaluate the spinal fluid for involvement.
Colonoscopy
Since mantle cell lymphoma may present a lymphomatous polyposis coli and colon involvement is common, colonoscopy is now considered a routine part of the evaluation.
Upper Endoscopy
Upper endoscopy may be helpful in selected cases.
