| MZL | Large and small aggregates | Polymorphic | LHA and FCF possible | Intermediate | Smooth to mildly irregular | Inconspicuous to large | Open to clumped | Conspi-cuous, abundant in monocytoid forms | Low | Present | Present | Large activated cells, histiocytes, immunoblasts |
| FL Grade 1/2 | Numerous small aggregates | Monomorphic to dimorphic (grades 1-2) | Repetitive FCF common | Intermediate | Irregular, bilobed or “divided” nuclei common | Inconspicuous | Open to clumped | Scant | Low | Absent | Present | Centroblasts |
| MCL | Vague aggregates | Markedly monomorphic | Vague aggregates (FCF/LHA possible in mantle zone pattern) | Intermediate (small and large cell variants occur) | Subtly irregular | Inconspicuous to large | Dispersed to clumped | Variable, moderate | Possible | Absent/ Rare | Infrequent | Scattered EH present, PLC and PIB absent |
| SLL/CLL | Vague aggregates | Monomorphic | Vague aggregates (proliferation centers) | Small | Smooth | Absent/In-conspicuous | Coarse -clumped | Scant | Low | Infrequent | Infrequent | PLC, PIB, smudge cells, rarely RS cells |
| LPL | Vague aggregates | Mono-, rarely polymorphic | Rare/ Absent aggregates | Small | Smooth, possible Dutcher bodies | Absent/In-conspicuous | Coarse–clumped, “cart-wheel” | Scant to plasma-cytoid, Russell bodies | Low | Common | Present, often frequent | PLC and PIB absent |
