The patient was treated with six cycles of rituximab-bendamustine, resulting in complete regression of the nasopharyngeal mass and reduction in splenomegaly, with minimal residual lymphadenopathy and good clinical and biological tolerance. This case highlights the importance of considering CLL in the differential diagnosis of nasopharyngeal masses and emphasizes the role of combined imaging, histology, and immunophenotyping in establishing an accurate diagnosis and guiding appropriate management.
This study provides valuable real-world insight into the clinical landscape of DLBCL in Saudi Arabia. Overall outcomes are consistent with international data, although older age and comorbidities remain associated with poorer prognosis. As advanced therapies such as chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy and bispecific antibodies become more available, further improvements in survival are expected. These findings underscore the need for a national lymphoma registry and continued investment in research infrastructure to guide evidence-based, personalized care.

The patient responded well to prednisone and rituximab. IgG4-related disease may present with atypical posterior uveitis findings and mimic intraocular lymphoma. This entity should be considered in the differential diagnosis of posterior uveitis masquerade syndromes.

AMC and CD163 are negative prognostic markers, while CD8 is protective. AMC may reflect the immune profile of the TME and serve as a practical prognostic biomarker in DLBCL.

Chemotherapy with rituximab, etoposide, prednisolone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin (DA-EPOCH-R) led to prompt improvement in serum albumin levels and resolution of the protein-losing enteropathy. Subsequent high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation has maintained remission. Given the rarity of this presentation and its strong similarity to a previously reported case of CD5-positive DLBCL with protein-losing enteropathy, we propose that this might represent a distinct clinical entity.
