| Abstract |
|
Rarely, two different histological types of lymphoma develop in the same person. Sequential lymphoma is defined as two different types of lymphoma occurring in the same person sequentially. A 47-year-old patient with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection who had been diagnosed with mixed cellularity Hodgkin’s lymphoma was treated with adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine combination chemotherapy. After six cycles of chemotherapy, abdominal computed tomography showed multiple liver masses. A percutaneous needle biopsy of the liver and polymerase chain reaction single-strand conformation polymorphism revealed hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma. The patient died 3 months after the diagnosis of hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma. To our knowledge, this is the first case of the sequential development of hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma after Hodgkin’s lymphoma in a Korean HIV-infected patient. |
