Abstract:
Occurence of lactic acidosis with adequate tissue oxygenation(type B lactic acidosis) has been described in association with leukemia, lymphoma, small cell carcinoma and breast cancer. However, no such case has been reported in Korea. Therefore, we report a case of type B lactic acidosis in a man with rapidly progressing acute lymphoblastic leukemia which had been transformed from lymphoma.
