Overview

Common risk factors for the development of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma are monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, inherited immune disorders, heredity, hepatitis C and other autoimmune disorders, age >50 years, male gender, white race, allergic conditions like hay fever, multiple environmental factors, Human T-lymphotrophic virus type I or Epstein-Barr virus, history of Helicobacter pylori infection, history of immunosuppressant drug therapy after an organ transplant, diet rich in meat and fat and history of past treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma.

Risk Factors

Following are the common risk factors for the development of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]

Risk factors for the development of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma
Pre-existing Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is the most common risk factor, associated with 40 times more likelihood of developing lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma[1] Non-modifiable factors
Inherited immune disorders
Heredity[2][3][4] Patients with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma usually have a close/first-degree relative with the disease or with a related B-cell disease, such as MGUS or certain types of lymphoma or leukemia
Age >50 years
Gender-Male
Race-White
Autoimmune Diseases[4][5][6][7][8][9] Personal and family history of autoimmune diseases with autoantibodies and chronic immune stimulation leads to 2-3 fold higher risk of developing LPL, especially elevated risks are associated with following:
Modifiable factors
Allergic conditions Hay fever is also known to be associated with increased risk of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma
Human T-lymphotrophic virus type I or Epstein-Barr virus infection
Environmental factors[10][11] According to some recent studies, exposure to following environmental factors seems to have an association with the development of LPL:
History of Helicobacter pylori infection
History of immunosuppressant drug therapy after an organ transplant
Diet rich in meat and fat
History of past treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma
