Abstract
In indolent lymphomas, histological transformation (HT) often results in a poor prognosis and presents a significant challenge in the management of these lymphomas. Previous studies have indicated that MYD88 mutations are associated with transformation in certain haematologic malignancies. We report a rare case of splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) harbouring an MYD88 mutation, which was transformed into diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and accompanied by newly emerging genetic abnormalities. The role of the MYD88 gene in SMZL is currently unclear. Through this case, we reviewed relevant studies, which indicated that MYD88 mutations, along with other genetic anomalies, may play a significant role in this process. In the future, it is essential to collect more of these rare cases for further research.
期刊介绍：
Annals of Hematology covers the whole spectrum of clinical and experimental hematology, hemostaseology, blood transfusion, and related aspects of medical oncology, including diagnosis and treatment of leukemias, lymphatic neoplasias and solid tumors, and transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells. Coverage includes general aspects of oncology, molecular biology and immunology as pertinent to problems of human blood disease. The journal is associated with the German Society for Hematology and Medical Oncology, and the Austrian Society for Hematology and Oncology.
