Nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma is a rare, indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, characterized by abnormal clonal proliferation of mature B-lymphocytes with involvement of the lymph nodes, sometimes the bone marrow, and rarely the blood. Clinically it presents with disseminated peripheral, abdominal and/or thoracic lymphadenopathy. Cytopenia and bulky tumors (greater than 5 cm) are rare. Association with Hepatitis C virus and chronic inflammation has been reported.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma has been reported in the published literature.
3 FDA-approved treatments are available for nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma, including ukoniq (UKONIQ, approved 2021), LENALIDOMIDE (REVLIMID, approved 2005), and IBRUTINIB (IMBRUVICA, approved 2022). An additional 11 compounds hold orphan drug designation.
