Overview
Common risk factors in the development of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma are monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, heredity, hepatitis C and other autoimmune disorders, allergic conditions like hay fever and multiple environmental factors such as occupational (farming), pesticides, paint, rubber dyes, benzene, coal dust, leather manufacturing, wood dust, and organic solvents.
Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma include:[1]
- Pre-existing Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is the most common risk factor, associated with 40 times more likelihood of developing lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma.
- Inherited immune disorders:
- Hypogammaglobulinemia
- Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome
- Heredity:
- 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.[2][3][4]
- Autoimmune Diseases:
- 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:
- Patients with chronic hepatitis C infection have an overall 20-30% increased risk for developing Non-Hodgkin lymohoma and 3-fold increased risk for lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma.[4][5][6]
- HIV[5]
- Rickettsiosis[5]
- Sjogren syndrome[7][8]
- Autoimmune hemolytic anemia[7][8]
- Sarcoidosis[9]
- SLE[8]
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Psoriasis
- 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:
- Allergic conditions:
- Hay fever is also known to be associated with increased risk of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma.
- Environmental factors:
- According to some recent studies, exposure to following environmental factors seems to have an association with the development of LPL:[10][11]
- Occupational (Farming)
- Pesticides
- Paint
- Rubber dyes
- Benzene
- Coal dust
- Leather manufacturing
- Wood dust
- Organic solvents
- According to some recent studies, exposure to following environmental factors seems to have an association with the development of LPL:[10][11]
- Human T-lymphotrophic virus type I or Epstein-Barr virus
- A history of Helicobacter pylori infection
- Taking immunosuppressant drugs after an organ transplant
- Diet high in meats and fat
- Past treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma
