Core Tip
Core Tip: We report a patient with metachronous lymphoma. The development of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (TCL) after chemotherapy for Hodgkin’s lymphoma is rare, and highly aggressive TCL/leukemia has not been reported to date. We reviewed the literature and discussed whether immunodeficiency and malignant transformation of reactive T-cells may be major factors contributing to the development of TCL/ leukemia.
