    Splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) accounted for 4.65% of all lymphoma cases in a Romanian study of 731 patients from 2006 to 2016.

  • 2

    The study identified a high prevalence of viral hepatitis, with 29% of patients diagnosed with hepatitis B or C among those tested for viral infections.

  • 3

    The male-to-female ratio in SMZL cases was 1.8, with a median patient age of 63 years, showing no significant age difference between genders.

  • 4

    Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that SMZL cells were positive for pan-B-cell markers and negative for several other markers, indicating specific lymphoma characteristics.

  • 5

    Survival analysis suggested a borderline difference in overall survival between patients with and without viral hepatitis, highlighting potential prognostic implications.
