Translocation t(9;14)(p13;q32) involving PAX5 and IGH genes was first described in lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. New data suggest that this translocation is not restricted to a specific morphologic subtype but occurs in other B-cell lymphomas. We present three cases with a diagnosis of splenic marginal zone lymphoma and t(9;14) confirmed by fluorescent in situ hybridization.
