Overview
If left untreated, patients with asymptomatic disease may progress to develop fatigue, weight loss, peripheral neuropathy and other symptoms of the disease. Common complications of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma include: hyperviscosity syndrome, cold haemagglutinin disease, cryoglobulinemia, peripheral neuropathy, primary amyloidosis, renal insufficiency, malabsorptive diarrhea, and visual abnormalities. Prognosis varies depending on the various factors involved. Five year survival rate is 87% for low-risk disease and 36% for high-risk disease.
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History:
Initial symptoms
- The symptoms of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma usually develop in the seventh and eighth decade of life.
- It will typically start with symptoms such as:
- Fatigue
- Unexplained weight loss
- Numbness and tingling associated with peripheral neuropathy
- Shortness of breath
- Purpura
- Raynaud's phenomenon
- Vision problems such as blurred vision, vision loss or blind spots.[1]
Complications
- As the disease progresses, the following complications can commonly occur in patients with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma:
- Hyperviscosity syndrome.[2]
- Cryoglobulinemia.[3]
- Peripheral neuropathy(15%).[4]
- Amyloidosis of the heart, kidney, liver, lungs, and joints.[5]
- Cold haemagglutinin disease/Autoimmune hemolytic anemia(<10%).[6]
- Gastrointestinal malabsorption.[7]
- Renal insufficiency.[8]
- Fundoscopic abnormalities.[2]
- Congestive heart failure.
- Schnitzler syndrome which is an autoimmune complication associated with elevated IgM levels, that leads to fever, itchy skin lesions, and joint aches.
Late and rare severe complications
- Large cell transformation (Richter syndrome).
- Dr. Richter of the University of Minnesota first recognized the blockage in maturity of the lymphoma cells at a point when they can't mature beyond the large cell stage thus, leading to large cell transformation.
- Central nervous system Lymphoma (Bing-Neel syndrome).[9]
- The development of Waldenström macroglobulinemia cells in the central nervous system was first described by Drs. Bing and Neel and carries their names as the Bing-Neel syndrome. WM involves CNS in following two forms:
- Actual tumor developing in the brain substance causing seizures and paralysis.
- Tumor cells invading meninges and cranial nerves without causing the actual tumors and with or without CSF cryoglobulinemia,[10] leading to following symptoms:[11]
- Headache.
- Confusion.
- Neck stiffness.
- Sporadic loss of motor function.
- Facial paralysis.
- Drooping eyelid.
- Double vision.
- Difficult swallowing.
- Visual loss.
- Hearing loss.
- The development of Waldenström macroglobulinemia cells in the central nervous system was first described by Drs. Bing and Neel and carries their names as the Bing-Neel syndrome. WM involves CNS in following two forms:

Prognosis:
- Prognosis is generally poor.
- The median survival from the time of diagnosis is 6.4 years.[12]
- The median disease-specific survival is 11.2 years.[12]
- Approximately 10% patients still live at 15 years.[13][14]
- 5-year survival rate is 78%.
- In the last decade (2001-2010), the median overall survival for all LPL groups has improved to just over 8 years compared to 6 years in the previous decade (1991-2000).
- Cases without MYD88 mutations are associated with adenopathy and a worse outcome.[15]
- After 2000, a 2-fold increased mortality is reported in patients diagnosed with LPL when compared with expected population mortality.[16]
- The presence of symptoms is associated with a particularly poor prognosis among patients with the disease.
- Prognosis of asymptomatic patients is similar to that of the general population with a 10-year survival rate of 70-75%.[17][18]
Adverse prognostic factors:
- Some of the pretreatment factors associated with shorter survival in LPL patients are:[19][12]
- Age >/=65 years.
- Organomegaly (Hepatosplenomegaly).
- B symptoms (weight loss, fever or night sweats).
- Anemia (Hb < 10.0 g/dl).
- Platelets <100 x 10(6)/dl.
- Albumin <3.5 g/dl.
- Bone marrow lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate >/=50%.
- Elevated beta2-microglobulin ( associated with 3-fold increase in death).
- Leucopenia (<4.0 x 10(9)/l).
- Thrombocytopenia (<150 x 10(9)/l).
- Quantitative IgM < 0.4 g/l.
- Hyperviscosity.
- Other prognostic factors recently studied are:
- Serum free light chain.[20]
- Serum lactate dehydrogenase.[21]
- Serum soluble CD27.[22]
- Most of the prognostic factors have defined the outcome of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma in patients requiring treatment. However, very few studies have evaluated the prognostic factors in patients who don't initially need the treatment.
Risk Stratification Criteria:
All the above prognostic data has been combined to risk stratify the WM patients and to formulate a standardized scoring system known as the International Prognostic Staging System for Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia (IPSSWM):[23]
| Risk factors | Score |
|---|---|
| Age > 65 | 1 |
| Hemoglobin ≤ 11.5g/dl | 1 |
| Platelet ≤ 100,000μl | 1 |
| β-microglobulin > 3mg/l | 1 |
| IgM > 70g/l | 1 |
| Risk group | Score | 5-year survival | Median survival |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low | 0-1 (except age) | 87% | 12 years |
| Intermediate | 2 or age>65 | 68% | 8 years |
| High | ≥3 | 36% | 3.5 years |
