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.
一名65岁女性因体重减轻、高蛋白血症和贫血被转诊至医院作进一步检查。血清免疫固定电泳显示IgM-κM蛋白。骨髓检查显示B细胞数量增加且存在免疫球蛋白κ轻链限制。虽然在骨髓单个核细胞中检测到MYD88 L265P突变,提示诊断为华氏巨球蛋白血症(WM),但同时也检测到了黏膜相关淋巴组织边缘区淋巴瘤(MALT淋巴瘤)中常见的IgH-MALT1融合信号。在此,我们报告一例罕见的伴有IgH-MALT1的MYD88 L265P突变的低度B细胞淋巴瘤病例。
