'''Small cell lymphoma''' (or '''small lymphocytic lymphoma''') is a type of [[lymph follicle|follicular]] [[B-cell lymphoma]]. A small cell, in this context, has a diameter of 6 to 9 µm.<ref name="isbn0-7817-5007-5">{{cite book

While similar to [[chronic lymphocytic leukemia]] (CLL), it primarily is found in the [[lymph nodes]], while CLL is more often found in [[bone marrow]] and [[blood]].
==Epidemiology==
Of all [[lymphoproliferative disorders|cancers involving the same class of blood cell]], 7% of cases are CLL/SLL.<ref name="isbn0-7817-5007-5">{{cite book
