Unveiling the enigma: Pulmonary hypertension in marginal zone non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: A singular case illuminating an obscure nexus

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma confers a relatively poor prognosis, emphasizing the critical need for early recognition and tailored management strategies. Standard pulmonary hypertension treatments may yield suboptimal responses due to the underlying neoplastic origin, highlighting the importance of prompt initiation of chemotherapy. We present a unique case of pulmonary hypertension in marginal zone lymphoma along with a comprehensive review of reported non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cases associated with pulmonary hypertension, shedding light on the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges encountered in clinical practice.
