Summary
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a diverse cancer. This case highlights marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), a rare NHL subtype, presenting diagnostic challenges due to its varied appearance on imaging.
Area of Science:
- Hematology
- Oncology
- Diagnostic Imaging
Background:
- Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) are a group of diverse lymphoproliferative neoplasms, with most originating from mature B lymphocytes.
- NHLs frequently occur in extranodal sites (nearly 25%), posing diagnostic challenges.
- Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma are the most common subtypes in developed countries, while marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) is rarer.

Primary lymphoid organs are pivotal in the formation, development, and maturation of lymphocytes, the white blood cells that serve as the backbone of our immune system. This crucial function underscores their fundamental role in maintaining our overall health and immunity. The two primary lymphoid organs of prime importance are the red bone marrow and the thymus.
The red bone marrow is a soft, spongy tissue nestled in the interior of long bones such as the humerus and femur. It is the site...

Secondary organs, including lymph nodes, the spleen, and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), work harmoniously to protect us from disease and infection.
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
