	Marginal zone lymphomas (MZL) are indolent B-cell lymphomas. When marginal zone lymphomas involve the lymph nodes they are called nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphomas whereas when they involve places outside the lymph nodes (gastrointestinal tract, thyroid, breast, or skin) they are called mucosa-associated lymphatic tissue lymphomas (MALT or MALToma). Splenic (in the spleen) Marginal zone lymphomas are considered a third separate type. Together they represent less than 20% of all lymphomas.		<! browsers dont understand iframe show this > <p align="right">:-)</p>
	Under the new WHO Lymphoma Classification System (2001), all three types of Marginal Zone Lymphoma are considered distinct entities and may be treated and studied separately.	<! browsers dont understand iframe show this > <p align="right">:-)</p>
