A 65-year-old woman was referred to the hospital for further investigation of weight loss, hyperproteinemia, and anemia. Serum immunofixation electrophoresis revealed IgM-κ M protein. Bone marrow examination revealed an increase in the number of B -cells with immunoglobulin kappa light-chain restriction. Although the MYD88 L265P mutation was identified in bone marrow mononuclear cells, which suggested the diagnosis of Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM), a fusion signal of IgH-MALT1, which is commonly observed in extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, was also identified. Here, we describe a rare case of low-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYD88 L265P mutations accompanying IgH-MALT1.
