Marginal zone lymphoma with severe rashes: A case report

Marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) is an indolent subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), which is rare clinically with severe rashes as the initial symptom. This study reports a case of MZL with generalized skin rashes accompanied by pruritus and purulent discharge. First-line treatment with rituximab combined with zanubrutinib had poor effects. However, after switching to obinutuzumab combined with zanubrutinib, the case was alleviated, and the rashes disappeared. For patients with advanced stage MZL not benefiting from type I anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (mAb) combination therapy, switching to a type II anti-CD20 mAb combination regimen may be considered. This approach may provide a new perspective in the treatment of MZL.
