RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies such as rituximab can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different way to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining monoclonal antibody therapy with chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of rituximab plus fludarabine in treating patients who have Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia.

OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
