Abstract
Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) is an indolent (slow-growing) subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that affects small lymphocytes. The risk of WM increases with age with median age at diagnosis of 63 years. Men are more likely than women to develop the WM. The overall incidence of WM is approximately five cases per one million persons per year
