Occurrence of T-cell lymphoma in a patient with acute myelogenous leukemia

Ann Hematol. 1996 Aug;73(2):95-8. doi: 10.1007/s002770050208.

Abstract

We describe a patient with AML with a monocytic component who developed a T-lymphoblastic lymphoma. Lymphoma was diagnosed 9 months following AML diagnosis. To our knowledge, this is the first report of phenotypically documented T-cell lymphoma following AML. The questions relating to the pathogenesis of the two malignancies are discussed.
