Duodenal-type follicular lymphoma (DFL) is a rare subtype classified by the 5th edition of the WHO and international consensus classifications of lymphoid neoplasms, typically presenting as localized disease with favorable outcomes. This multicenter retrospective study examines 53 Brazilian DFL patients with a median age of 58.2 years (33-85), with males comprising 50% ( = 27).

We present the initial analysis of an ongoing prospective protocol on SBRT addressing the feasibility and safety of this treatment for solitary bone plasmacytomas.
Patients And Methods: A prospective cohort of SBRT for solitary bone plasmacytoma was developed.
Background: Although much studied in multiple myeloma, bone events (BE) can also cause important morbidity in bone plasmacytoma patients. To our knowledge, the effect of BE on overall survival (OS) and progression to multiple myeloma free-survival (MPFS) also has never been studied.
Patients And Methods: Fifty-nine patients treated from 2008 to 2017 were retrospectively assessed.
Background: The risk of recurrence of solitary plasmacytoma (SP)/progression to MM is well established, but patient, imaging and treatment factors influencing risk of progression require further evaluation.
Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of 66 SP patients (23 UK, 43 Brazil) diagnosed 1989-2016. Patient baseline characteristics were recorded.
