Splenic B-cell lymphoma/leukemia, Unclassifiable (SBLL-U) includes primary splenic lymphomas that cannot be better classified into other [[Mature B-Cell Neoplasms|mature B-cell neoplasms]] and are overall rare, accounting for <1% of lymphomas.  Two entities in this category, [[Hairy Cell Leukemia Variant|hairy cell leukemia variant]] (HCL-v) and [[Splenic Diffuse Red Pulp Small B-cell Lymphoma|splenic diffuse red pulp small B-cell lymphoma]] (SDRPL) may represent distinct entities and are designated as provisional entities in the 2017 WHO.  Recent molecular evidence suggests that they are distinct from each other and from [[Splenic Marginal Zone Lymphoma|splenic marginal zone lymphoma]] and [[Hairy Cell Leukemia|hairy cell leukemia]], which which the have overlapping clinical, morphologic, and immunophenotypic features.  Primary splenic lymphomas that cannot be classified as HCL-v or SDRPL should be classified as splenic B-cell lymphoma/leukemia, Unclassifiable.
