Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia

To our knowledge, there have been only two cases previously described in the literature of LPL/WM involvement in the female genital tract; both of which had prominent involvement of the ovaries. Although exceedingly rare, LPL/WM involvement of the female genital tract should be considered on the differential diagnosis if atypical lymphoid cells or dense lymphoid aggregates are observed.

Expression of IRTA1 alone, or either IRTA1+ or MNDA+, was less frequent among MZL with plasma cell differentiation than among MZL with classical cell morphology (p=0.063 and 0.071, respectively), albeit not significantly. IRTA1 and MNDA are sensitive and specific markers for the differential diagnosis of MZL, and they may be helpful in distinguishing MZL from histologic mimics.

Aberrant B cell receptor signaling occurs in several B cell neoplasms including follicular lymphoma (treated with zanubrutinib, a BTK inhibitor), mantle cell lymphoma (acalabrutinib, pirtobrutinib, zanubrutinib), marginal zone lymphoma (zanubrutinib), chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma (ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, zanubrutinib, pirtobrutinib), and Waldenström macroglobulinemia (ibrutinib, zanubrutinib)...Pirtobrutinib fails to form a covalent bond and is a reversible BTK inhibitor. The FDA-approvals of rilzabrutinib and remibrutinib (2025) represent the first nononcologic authorizations for BTK antagonists.

Furthermore, this review positions mavorixafor within the broader CXCR4-targeted therapeutic landscape, identifying current research gaps and suggesting directions for future studies. In conclusion, by integrating mechanistic insights with preclinical and clinical findings, this article highlights mavorixafor's promise as a targeted therapy with the potential to transform treatment paradigms for CXCR4-driven diseases.

Detection methodologies include allele-specific PCR for targeted L265P detection and next-generation sequencing for comprehensive mutational profiling. This review summarises the molecular biology, disease associations, clinical utility and therapeutic implications of MYD88 mutations in lymphoid malignancies.

At the molecular level, MYD88 mutation was significantly associated with favorable outcomes exclusively in patients treated with first-line BTKi-based therapy, while CXCR4 and TP53 mutations predicted significantly inferior prognosis in both BTKi-based and non-BTKi cohorts. Our findings indicate that although clinical risk models remain relevant for patients receiving non-BTKi therapy, molecular features, especially MYD88, CXCR4, and TP53 mutations, provide superior prognostic insights for patients with BTKi-based regimens.

Ibrutinib plus rituximab therapy was administered, resulting in a partial response sustained to date. Bone involvement and amyloidosis are rare but critical extranodal manifestations of LPL, necessitating careful screening and follow-up even in asymptomatic patients. When these manifestations are suspected, prompt pathological and genetic evaluation is warranted, especially in non-IgM LPL cases.
