A 79-year-old female presented with progressive dyspnea. A bone marrow biopsy revealed hypoplastic marrow with abnormal lymphoid cells. A genetic analysis revealed a MYD88 p.V204F mutation, supporting the diagnosis of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma/Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (LPL/WM). Additional evaluations established a concomitant diagnosis of aplastic anemia (AA). Treatment prioritized AA with cyclosporine and eltrombopag. Subsequently, the LPL/WM was treated with rituximab monotherapy. This sequential treatment resulted in a symptomatic improvement. Although AA is a diagnosis of exclusion, its coexistence with lymphoma is rare. This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic complexity of AA and LPL/WM overlap and suggests that prioritizing the treatment of AA may lead to better outcomes. Show less
