Case in brief
A patient was diagnosed with both extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL) of the ocular adnexa and splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL). The EMZL was identified through a core biopsy of the ocular adnexa, while the SMZL was confirmed via a bone marrow biopsy. This case highlights the concurrent presence of two distinct types of marginal zone lymphomas.
Diagnostic / clinical pearl
Clinicians should be aware that marginal zone lymphomas can present concurrently in different anatomical sites, which may complicate diagnosis and management.
