Immunodeficiency-related lymphoproliferative disorders (IR-LPD) may occur in the setting of immunosuppressive therapy with methotrexate and TNF-α antagonists. As far as we are aware, this is the first report of an Epstein-Barr virus-associated B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder, secondary to methotrexate therapy in a patient with mycosis fungoides/Sézary syndrome.

Introduction: Organ transplant recipients face a substantial risk of developing posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD). In over 90% of cases with B-cell PTLD following solid organ transplantation, the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genome is promptly identified, usually within the initial year. A continuing discussion revolves around the efficacy of antiviral prophylaxis in mitigating the incidence of PTLD in solid organ transplant (SOT) patients.

Background: Synchronous malignant histiocytoses are rare conditions that occur concurrently with another hematologic neoplasm. Most reported cases are associated with B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders, while associations with T-cell hemopathies are less common. These two diseases may share mutations and/or cytogenetic anomalies, which can lead to malignant proliferations.

Reports of glomerulonephritis associated with lymphoproliferative disorders are common, but reports of minimal change disease (MCD) accompanying non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are rare. Here, we present a case of a 45-year-old woman diagnosed with primary Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) during MCD treatment. Her kidney biopsy revealed endothelial cell injury in parts of the MCD.

Reactive B-cell rich lymphoid proliferation (rB-LP), once called pseudolymphoma, is a benign lymphoproliferative disorder, which is histologically characterized by dense dermal infiltrate forming reactive germinal centers with tingible body macrophages. The disease frequently involves the face, scalp, and ear lobes. Treatment includes topical or intralesional steroids, surgical resection, ultraviolet therapy, laser treatment, and radiation therapy.

Localized light chain amyloidosis is considered to be a plasmacytic B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder caused by antigenic induction. A hypothesis has been proposed that antigen-induced local plasmacytic B cells produce amyloidogenic proteins that are processed into amyloid fibrils in giant cells leading to amyloid fibril deposition. However, the inciting antigen exposure or immune response that signals plasmacytic B-cell infiltration, activation, and selection, is unknown.
