Fast Five Quiz: Signs and Symptoms of Mantle Cell Lymphoma

The Ann Arbor classification system is used for staging and is on the basis of lymph node involvement and the presence of extrahepatic sites.

The majority of patients (nearly 70%-80%) with MCL present with stage III or IV disease with extensive lymph node involvement. Presentation with earlier stage disease is uncommon. Patients with stage I/II disease have a limited number of lymph nodes or extranodal sites involved. Laboratory values are critical in workup but are not a component of staging.
