Abstract

Overall survival of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma has dramatically increased in recent years, with an increased rate of malignant complications. We report here a 54-year-old man who presented with concomitant relapse of classical Hodgkin's lymphoma and lung adenocarcinoma 20 years after initial treatment with chemotherapy and mantle radiotherapy. Pathogenic mechanisms of these malignant complications are discussed. A prolonged follow-up of patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma is required.
