Abstract
Marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) is the most common indolent lymphoma primarily arising in the central nervous system (CNS). To date, 207 cases of primary CNS MZL (PCNSMZL) were published, mostly as single case reports or small case series. It most commonly presents as extra-axial dural-based masses, more frequently in middle-aged women, displaying an insidious onset, with a long history of symptoms preceding the diagnosis. PCNSMZL can be radiographically mistaken for meningioma. PCNSMZL consists of CD20+ , CD3- small B lymphocytes with varying degrees of plasmacytic differentiation and low proliferation index. Trisomy 3, but not MALT1 or IgH translocation, is a common genetic abnormality. Other recurrent genetic abnormalities involve TNFAIP3 and NOTCH2. Ethiopathogenesis was poorly investigated. Due to its rarity, standard of care remains to be defined; it exhibits an excellent prognosis after varied treatments, such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy or their combinations. Nevertheless, each treatment should be considered after an accurate analysis of overtreatment risk. Short follow-up is a major limitation in reported PCNSMZL cases, which restrains our knowledge on long-term results and iatrogenic sequels. This review was focussed on presentation, differential diagnoses, pathological findings, treatment options and clinical outcomes of PCNSMZL; recommendations for best clinical practice are provided.

A prospective observational study of real-world treatment and outcome in secondary CNS lymphoma. Eur J Cancer 2024; 196:113436. [PMID: 38008033 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejca.2023.113436] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2023] [Revised: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 11/05/2023] [Indexed: 11/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Secondary central nervous system lymphoma (SCNSL) confers a dismal prognosis and treatment advances are constrained by the lack of prospective studies and real-world treatment evidence. METHODS Patients with SCNSL of all entities were included at first diagnosis and patient characteristics, treatment data, and outcomes were prospectively collected in the Secondary CNS Lymphoma Registry (SCNSL-R) (NCT05114330). FINDINGS 279 patients from 47 institutions were enrolled from 2011 to 2022 and 243 patients (median age: 66 years; range: 23-86) were available for analysis. Of those, 49 (20 %) patients presented with synchronous (cohort I) and 194 (80 %) with metachronous SCNSL (cohort II). The predominant histology was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL, 68 %). Median overall survival (OS) from diagnosis of CNS involvement was 17·2 months (95 % CI 12-27·5), with longer OS in cohort I (60·6 months, 95 % CI 45·5-not estimable (NE)) than cohort II (11·4 months, 95 % CI 7·8-17·7, log-rank test p < 0.0001). Predominant induction regimens included R-CHOP/high-dose MTX (cohort I) and high-dose MTX/cytarabine (cohort II). Rituximab was used in 166 (68 %) of B-cell lymphoma. Undergoing consolidating high-dose therapy and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HDT-ASCT) in partial response (PR) or better was associated with longer OS (HR adjusted 0·47 (95 % CI 0·25-0·89), p = 0·0197). INTERPRETATION This study is the largest prospective cohort of SCNSL patients providing a comprehensive overview of an international real-world treatment landscape and outcomes. Prognosis was better in patients with SCNSL involvement at initial diagnosis (cohort I) and consolidating HDT-ASCT was associated with favorable outcome in patients with PR or better.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Dural based Marginal Zone MALT-type B-Cell Lymphoma (MZBCL) is an intracranial tumor that can mimicking meningioma both from a clinical and a radiological point of view. A standard treatment protocol is still lacking. Aim of the present work is to provide an update of the present literature regarding this rare neoplasia. PATIENTS AND METHODS We report the case of a patient with a dural-based lesion mimicking a meningioma of the tentorium. After surgical treatment, the diagnosis was of MZBCL. A literature review is performed to highlight the typical characteristics of this rare intracranial lesion and to define the best therapeutic approach. RESULTS Literature review included 38 articles describing 126 cases of intracranial dural-based MZBCL. No clinical trial has been found. Clinical and histopathological features are properly collected to provide a guide for future cases. Different treatment options have been attempted. Combination of surgery with adjuvant radiation therapy is the most used option. CONCLUSIONS MZBCL should be considered in differential diagnosis for dural-based intracranial lesion. Surgery followed by radiation therapy is the most reported treatment. As a consequence of the rarity of this disease, of its indolent progression and of the lack of adequate follow-up, it is not possible to define it is the best treatment option.

Abstract
DISEASE OVERVIEW Marginal zone lymphomas (MZL) are collectively the second most common type of indolent lymphoma. DIAGNOSIS Three subtypes of MZL are recognized: splenic, extranodal, and nodal. The diagnosis is secured following biopsy of an involved nodal or extranodal site demonstrating a clonal B-cell infiltrate with CD5 and CD10 negative immunophenotype most common. Some cases will features IgM paraprotein, but MYD88 L256P mutations are less frequent than in Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia. Prognostication Several prognostic models have been developed, including the MALT-IPI and the MZL-IPI. The latter is broadly applicable across MZL subtypes and incorporates elevated serum LDH, anemia, lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia and nodal or disseminated subtypes as independent predictors of outcome. TREATMENT We discuss suggested approach to therapy for both early and advanced-stage disease, with reference to chemo-immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and emerging treatments in relapsed/refractory disease such as BTK inhibitors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary extranodal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma in the sellar region is a rare indolent B-cell lymphoma. CASE PRESENTATION A newly diagnosed patient with MALT lymphoma originating from the pituitary stalk is reported. A space-occupying lesion in the sellar region was found in a 24 year-old man who had no clinical symptoms except for those relating to a sex hormone disorder (rising estrogen and falling androgen) identified during a pre-employment physical examination. MALT lymphoma was diagnosed pathologically. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy were proposed after surgery. However, the patient selected androgen replacement therapy only rather than chemoradiotherapy. Over the next 3 months, no visual disturbance, headache, cranial nerve abnormality, or other symptoms occurred. CONCLUSION Primary sellar region MALT lymphoma is an extremely rare disease. The differential diagnosis of sellar and parasellar masses should include primary sellar region MALT lymphoma. Early detection and treatment of this lymphoma can effectively improve the prognosis.

Abstract
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is an aggressive form of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma that arises in the brain parenchyma, eyes, meninges, or spinal cord in the absence of systemic disease. Primary dural lymphoma (PDL), in contrast, arises from the dura mater of the brain. PDL is usually a low-grade B-cell marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), whereas other types of PCNSL are usually high-grade large B-cell lymphoma. This specific pathological subtype has important therapeutic and prognostic implications, making PDL a distinct subtype of PCNSL. Herein, we report a case of PDL in an African American patient, in her late thirties, who presented to our emergency room with chronic headaches. An emergent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain showed a dural-based homogeneously enhancing extra-axial mass along the left hemisphere, which was contained within the anterior and parietal dural mater. A surgical specimen was collected after an emergency debulking procedure. The flow cytometry, done on the surgical specimen obtained, was positive for CD19+, CD20+, and CD22+, but negative for CD5- and CD10-. These findings were consistent with a clonal B-lymphoproliferative disorder. The surgical pathology specimen immunohistochemistry was positive for CD20+ and CD45+, but negative for Bcl-6Cyclin D1- and CD56-. The Ki67 was 10-20%. These findings were consistent with extranodal MZL. Given the location and pathology, the patient was diagnosed with PDL. Due to MZL's indolent nature, location outside the blood-brain barrier, and known efficacy to bendamustine-rituximab (BR), we decided to treat our patient with BR. She completed six cycles without major complications, and her post-therapy brain MRI showed complete remission (CR). Our case adds to the sparse literature about PDL and highlights the efficacy of BR systemic chemotherapy on MZLs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mucosae-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas are a rare and poorly understood form of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). The aim of this study was to better describe these tumors, their management and their long-term prognosis. METHODS Patients with primary CNS MALT lymphoma (PCNSML) were retrospectively selected from the database on PCNSL of the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital. RESULTS Of 662 PCNSL, 11 (1.7%) PCNSML (9 females and 2 males, median age: 56 years) were selected. The median time from first symptoms to diagnosis was 13 months. Location was dural in 8 cases and parenchymal in 3 cases. The disease was multifocal/diffuse in 7 cases. In first line, all patients received chemotherapy (high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) based chemotherapy (n = 4) and non-HD-MTX-based chemotherapy (n = 7)), preceded by surgery in 4 cases. None received radiotherapy. According to the IPCG (International PCNSL Collaborative Group) criteria, the overall response rate was 7/11 (64%). At latest news, 5 patients had persistent contrast enhancement, stable with no treatment since a median of 57 months, raising the question of complete response despite persisting contrast enhancement. No patient developed neurotoxicity except for one patient who subsequently received radiotherapy. The median follow-up was 109 months. The median progression-free survival was 78.0 months and the 10-year overall survival rate was 90%. CONCLUSION This is the largest series demonstrating that chemotherapy is an efficient treatment in PCNSML, with an excellent long-term outcome and the absence of neurotoxicity, and calling into question the relevance of the IPCG criteria for the evaluation of response.

Abstract
Central nervous system (CNS) lymphomas are rare malignancies characterised by lymphoid infiltration into the brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, meninges and/or eyes in the presence or absence of previous or concurrent systemic disease. Most CNS lymphomas are of the diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) subtype for which treatment strategies, particularly the use of high-dose methotrexate-based protocols and consolidation with autologous stem cell transplantation, are well established. Other histopathological subtypes of CNS lymphoma are comparatively less common with published data on these rare lymphomas dominated by smaller case series and retrospective reports. Consequently, there exists little clinical consensus on the optimal methods to diagnose and manage these clinically and biologically heterogeneous CNS lymphomas. In this review article, we focus on rarer CNS lymphomas, summarising the available clinical data on incidence, context, diagnostic features, reported management strategies, and clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Primary dural low-grade marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) is a rare disease whose main treatment has been local surgery or radiotherapy. Until now, there have been no cases of dural MALT lymphoma treatment of a patient with several relapses or systemic disease. The present study included two patients with dural MALT lymphoma who had several relapses or systemic disease. Since local therapy was not enough to control the disease for these patients, they were treated with systemic chemotherapy. The patients were administered rituximab (375 mg/m2) and two days of bendamustine (90 mg/m2). Both patients recovered from their clinical symptoms immediately, and their tumors were reduced. During and after rituximab and bendamustine therapy, no central nervous system (CNS) metastasis or cerebrospinal fluid invasion of MALT were observed. The current approach using rituximab and bendamustine treatment was effective against dural MALT lymphoma and may prevent its invasion of the CNS.

Abstract
Primary dural lymphoma (PDL) usually arises from the calvarial dura without the brain parenchyma or systemic involvement and thus may not be considered as a typical form of primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL). It is exceedingly rare. When it occurs, it might not be suspected as a primary diagnosis on clinical and radiologic findings. We present a PDL case that occurs at the cerebellopontine (CP) angle mimicking en plaque meningioma. The tumor histopathology showed a lymphoproliferative disorder immunophenotypically consistent with a low-grade marginal zone lymphoma. Bone marrow and systemic involvements were not identified, and a diagnosis of PDL was established. As a residual tumor at the CP angle was inaccessible to surgery, postoperative radiation therapy was performed. No recurrence was found at 15-month follow-up. PDLs are mostly indolent and have a good prognosis. There is no doubt that the most important differential diagnosis is meningioma. Furthermore, the present case emphasizes the necessity of an intraoperative consultation and knowledge of this rare yet essential form of PCNSL so that appropriate studies can be ordered.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
Background Primary lymphoma of the cavernous sinus is a rare form of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma, of which very few cases have been reported in the published literature. This report presents the MRI findings with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value in an exceedingly rare primary marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MZBCL) of the cavernous sinus. Case presentation The case in this study is a 59-year-old immunocompetent male patient with a 2-month history of right ptosis and blurred vision. Right third cranial nerve palsy and binocular diplopia were observed upon neurological examination. Preoperative brain CT showed an extra-axial enhancing mass lesion in the right cavernous sinus. On MRI, ipsilateral internal carotid arterial encasement was noted without causing stenosis of the vessel. Isointense signal on T1-weighted and T2-weighted images, homogeneous contrast enhancement, and diffusion restriction were also observed. The mean ADC value of the tumor is 0.64 × 10–3 mm2/s (b value = 1000 s/mm2). Subtotal resection of the tumor was performed, and improvement of clinical symptoms were observed. The pathologic diagnosis of MZBCL was established by immunohistochemical examinations. Conclusions Primary MZBCL of the cavernous sinus is exceedingly rare, and preoperative confirmation poses a major challenge with CT and conventional MRI only. In this case, preoperative quantitative ADC value is shown to offer valuable additional information in the diagnostic process.

Abstract
Mature B cell neoplasms, previously indolent non-Hodgkin lymphomas (iNHLs), are a heterogeneous group of malignancies sharing similar disease courses and treatment paradigms. Most patients with iNHL have an excellent prognosis, and in many, treatment can be deferred for years. However, some patients will have an accelerated course and may experience transformation into aggressive lymphomas. In this review, we focus on management concepts shared across iNHLs, as well as histology-specific strategies. We address open questions in the field, including the influence of genomics and molecular pathway alterations on treatment decisions. In addition, we review the management of uncommon clinical entities including nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma, hairy cell leukemia, splenic lymphoma and primary lymphoma of extranodal sites. Finally, we include a perspective on novel targeted therapies, antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, bispecific T cell engagers and chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy.

Abstract
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare form of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma that primarily arises in the brain, spinal cord, leptomeninges, and vitreoretinal compartment of the eye. The term is sometimes used interchangeably with primary central nervous system diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PCNS DLBCL) because DLBCL comprises a great majority (90–95%) of PCNSL. Although rare, other types of lymphomas can be seen in the central nervous system (CNS), and familiarity with these entities will help their recognition and further workup in order to establish the diagnosis. The latter is especially important in the case of PCNSL where procurement of diagnostic specimen is often challenging and yields scant tissue. In this review, we will discuss the most common types of primary lymphomas that can be seen in the CNS with emphasis on the diagnostic histomorphologic, immunophenotypic, and molecular genetic features. The differential diagnostic approach to these cases and potential pitfalls will also be discussed.

Abstract
A standard radiation therapy protocol for primary central nervous system marginal zone lymphoma (CNS-MZL) has not been established. The International Lymphoma Radiation Oncology Group suggested a radiation therapy dose of 30-36 Gy for lesions of well-defined CNS-MZL. We report a case of relatively low-dose whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) for ill-defined CNS-MZL. A 56-year-old man who presented with sudden left-sided convulsions and impaired consciousness was diagnosed with CNS-MZL. The tumor had an ill-defined lesion, without cerebrospinal fluid involvement. WBRT, consisting of 25.2 Gy in 14 fractions, was administered owing to the difficulty in target delineation for focal radiation therapy. No chemotherapy was administered during the treatment course. After the 36-month follow-up period, the patient maintained complete remission without neurological disorders. This report describes the usefulness of relatively low-dose WBRT for ill-defined CNS-MZL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical experience is limited for primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma that arises from the dura mater, which is denoted with the term primary dural lymphoma (PDL). This study was aimed at determining the relative incidence, presentation, and outcomes of PDL. METHODS The institutional databases of the Divisions of Neuro-Oncology at the Massachusetts General Hospital and the Yale School of Medicine were retrospectively searched for patients with primary CNS lymphoma. Patients with pathologically confirmed dural lymphoma and no evidence of primary cerebral or systemic involvement were identified. Clinical data, diagnostic findings, treatments, and outcomes were recorded. RESULTS A total of 20 patients with PDL were identified, and they represented 6.3% of the individuals with primary CNS lymphomas (20 of 316). Histopathological examination of PDL revealed the following underlying subtypes: diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (10 of 20 patients), marginal zone lymphoma (6 of 20), follicular lymphoma (2 of 20), undefined B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (1 of 20), and T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (1 of 20). On imaging, all tumors appeared as extra-axial masses with avid contrast enhancement and mostly mimicked meningioma. The median apparent diffusion coefficient value was 667 ± 26 mm2 /s. Cerebrospinal fluid analyses and symptoms were nonspecific, and the diagnosis rested on tissue analysis. Therapeutic approaches included surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. The median overall survival was not reached after 5 years. Three patients were deceased at database closure because of tumor progression. The extent of tumor resection correlated positively with overall survival (P = .044). CONCLUSIONS PDL is a rare variant of primary CNS lymphoma that can be radiographically mistaken for meningioma. The outcome is excellent with multimodality treatment, and aggressive surgery may convey a survival advantage in select cases.

Abstract
Primary central nervous system (CNS) marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MZBCL) arising from the dural meninges is a rare but indolent disease. This malignancy can present in various ways, hence making it difficult to diagnose. Biopsy results dictate an appropriate treatment plan, which commonly consists of a combination of surgical resection, whole brain radiotherapy and systemic therapy.

An international multicenter retrospective analysis of patients with extranodal marginal zone lymphoma and histologically confirmed central nervous system and dural involvement. Cancer Med 2020; 9:663-670.

Abstract
Marginal zone lymphoma of the central nervous system (CNS MZL) is rare. The clinical features, treatment, and prognosis are not well characterized. We performed a multicenter retrospective study of CNS MZL. Twenty-six patients were identified: half with primary and half with secondary CNS involvement. The median age was 59 years (range 26-78), 62% female and 79% with ECOG performance status ≤ 1. The most common disease site was the dura (50%). Treatment was determined by the treating physician and varied substantially. After a median follow up of 1.9 years, the estimated 2-year progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 59% and 80%, respectively. Secondary CNS MZL was associated with 2-year OS of 58%. CNS MZL is rare, but relative to other forms of CNS lymphoma, outcomes appear favorable, particularly among the subset of patients with dural presentation and primary CNS presentation.

A Rare Case of Composite Dural Extranodal Marginal Zone Lymphoma and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma. Front Neurol 2018; 9:267.

Abstract
Background Primary extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) of the dura is a rare neoplastic entity in the central nervous system (CNS). Methods We used literature searches to identify previously reported cases of primary dural MZL. We also reviewed clinical, pathologic, and radiographic data of an adult patient with concurrent dural MZL and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). Results We identified 104 cases of dural MZL in the literature. None of them presented concurrently with another type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This is the first report of composite lymphoma consisting of dural MZL and CLL/SLL in the bone marrow and lymph nodes. Conclusion Primary dural MZL is a rare, indolent low-grade CNS lymphoma, with a relatively good prognosis. Its treatment is multidisciplinary and often requires surgical intervention due to brain compression, along with low to moderate doses of radiotherapy and/or systemic chemotherapy.

Abstract
A 53-year-old man had a diagnosis of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphomas of the dura in the left tentorium. The patient underwent whole-body F-FDG PET/CT and C-methionine PET/CT in order to complete the staging of dural mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. C-methionine uptake was detected in multiple meningeal sites, including left tentorium, with no significant FDG uptake in the same regions.
