Primary CNS Extranodal Marginal Zone B-Cell Lymphoma: A Case Series of 2 Patients Treated with External Beam Radiation Therapy

Primary CNS extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MZBL) is a rare low-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized predominantly by small B cells, plasma cells, monocytoid cells, and scattered large immunoblasts. As a slow-growing tumor that remains localized, primary CNS MZBL carries an excellent c...

Sumario:Primary CNS extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MZBL) is a rare low-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized predominantly by small B cells, plasma cells, monocytoid cells, and scattered large immunoblasts. As a slow-growing tumor that remains localized, primary CNS MZBL carries an excellent clinical prognosis. Here, we report two cases of primary CNS MZBL successfully treated using external beam radiation therapy along with a literature review.
