Description

Angel Luis Orosco-Ttamina and colleagues describe a patient who turned out to carry two slow-growing B-cell lymphomas at once. One type, marginal zone lymphoma, dominated the first picture and drew the treatment. Therapy with a bispecific antibody shrank that main disease and, in doing so, exposed a second hidden growth in the tissue.

Gene tests confirmed a clonal B-cell population, while a later probe found no sign of one common gene swap. Scans and blood tests showed spread at several sites across the body. Putting the pieces together gave a joint diagnosis of composite lymphoma rather than a single disease. The case warns care teams that a strong response in one cancer can reveal a second one hiding behind it.
