The Coexistence of a NonHodgkin with a Hodgkin's Lymphoma or a Single Disease?
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: The presence of symptoms and clinical signs of activity and extranodal determination of a lymphoma are sometimes in contrast with the result of hystopathological examination which has showed a lymphoma with low degree of malignancy. This is also the case of the patient we present. The second hystopathological examination and immunohistochemistry have determined that it was a nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin's lymphoma associated with a diffuse large B cell nonHodgkin lymphoma. It is discussed the possible evolution of the first towards the aggressive lymphoma or the fact that both hystopathological aspects may represent a spectrum of the same disease. Keywords: ABVD, CHOP, Diffuse large B cell nonHodgkin lymphoma, Follicular nonHodgkin lymphoma, Immunohistochemistry, Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin's lymphoma
