Composite lymphomas are rare and diagnostically complex, comprising two or more distinct lymphoma subtypes within the same anatomical site and often requiring a comprehensive diagnostic approach. Due to their rarity and varied presentations, further research is needed to better understand their pathogenesis, clonal relationships, and optimal management strategies. This case report highlights an unusual presentation of composite lymphoma involving the coexistence of BCL2-R-negative, CD23-positive follicle center lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL).
复合淋巴瘤罕见且诊断复杂,由同一解剖部位的两种或更多不同淋巴瘤亚型组成,通常需要综合诊断方法。由于其罕见性和表现多样,需要进一步研究以更好地了解其发病机制、克隆关系和最佳管理策略。本病例报告突出了复合淋巴瘤的一种不寻常表现,即BCL2-R阴性、CD23阳性的滤泡中心淋巴瘤与慢性淋巴细胞白血病/小淋巴细胞淋巴瘤(CLL/SLL)共存。
