Abstract:
Lymphoid malignancies have been reported in association with chronic myelogenous leukemia, but the development of chronic myelogenous leukemia and T-cell lymphoma in the same patients is rare. We experienced a case of peripheral T-cell lymphoma developed in the course of chronic myelogenous leukemia. In December 1993, a diagnosis of chronic myelogenous leukemia was made. The patient was treated with hydroxyurea and busulphan. In June 1999, the patient was admitted because of a swelling in right submandibular area and throat pain. He underwent right tonsilectomy. The histologic and immunologic examination of tonsil revealed a peripheral T-cell lymphoma. This case is additional one to a few previously reported cases of concurrence of chronic myelogenous leukemia and T-cell lymphoma.
