1. An isolated orbital mass present for several months was found in a 55-year-old female. A surgical excision was performed, and flow cytometry showed a CD20 positive, CD5 and CD10 negative, lambda restricted lymphoid cell population. Cytogenetic showed a t(14;18)(q32;q21) translocation. Representative histologic images for this case are shown along with selected immunohistochemistry. Which of the following is the best diagnosis?
