Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL)/Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) is an uncommon mature B cell lymphoma usually involving the bone marrow and, less commonly, the spleen and/or lymph nodes. This case presents a pathology-confirmed isolated extramedullary relapse of LPL, located in subcutaneous adipose tissue, 5 years after successful treatment of WM.

Over the past two decades, there has been a continuous improvement in outcome for patients with indolent lymphoma (iNHL) resulting in a gradual accumulation of survivors. While life expectancy in the current era approaches that of the lymphoma-free population, patients continue to experience lifelong complications of the disease and its treatment affecting general health, emotional, psychological and social wellbeing, relationships, employment, finances, and fitness. Contemporary care models while suited to the management of lymphoma are often lacking when it comes to identification and management of these additional needs.

Central nervous system (CNS) involvement in Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare complication that can manifest as Bing-Neel syndrome (BNS) or as histological transformation (HT) to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We report data from a single-center cohort of 469 patients consecutively diagnosed with WM between 2000 and 2022. BNS was identified in 1.

Background: Clonal mature B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders (B-LPDs) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasia characterized by the proliferation of mature B lymphocytes in the peripheral blood, bone marrow and/or lymphoid tissues. B-LPDs classification into different subtypes and their diagnosis is based on a multiparametric approach. However, accurate diagnosis may be challenging, especially in cases of ambiguous interpretation.

Cutaneous plasmacytosis (CP) is a rare condition characterized by benign proliferation of mature plasma cells in the skin. It presents as reddish-brown macules, papules, or plaques, typically located on the neck, face, and trunk. The etiology remains unknown, though it is believed to be reactive rather than malignant.
