Marginal Zone Lymphomas (MZL) and Peripheral T Cell Lymphomas (PTCL) are uncommon neoplasms and patients affected by both lymphomas in a lifetime have been rarely reported. Here we present two patients with an initial diagnosis of a MZL who further developed a PTCL. We also present the review of the literature of six other cases of MZL. Half of the cases reported are synchronous and the other half metachronous. Most MZLs reported are MALT subtype. There is no predominant subtype amongst PTCLs. Chronic exposure to proinflammatory cytokines, genetic predisposition or exposure to carcinogenic agents could be possible causes underlying this rare phenomenon.
