Hodgkin's disease occurring in a patient treated successfully for Goodpasture's syndrome. 1988

C S Pokorny, and G F Adler

The case is presented of a 19 year-old male who was diagnosed as suffering from Goodpasture's syndrome, treated with reducing doses of prednisone and chlorambucil for 12 months and who developed Hodgkin's disease 16 years later. Various postulates to explain the occurrence of Hodgkin's disease in this patient are proposed, and the possible association between Goodpasture's syndrome and Hodgkin's disease is discussed with reference to iatrogenic, genetic, environmental and immunological factors.

D002699	Chlorambucil	A nitrogen mustard alkylating agent used as antineoplastic for chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, and others. Although it is less toxic than most other nitrogen mustards, it has been listed as a known carcinogen in the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985).

D006689	Hodgkin Disease	A malignant disease characterized by progressive enlargement of the lymph nodes, spleen, and general lymphoid tissue. In the classical variant, giant usually multinucleate Hodgkin's and REED-STERNBERG CELLS are present; in the nodular lymphocyte predominant variant, lymphocytic and histiocytic cells are seen.

D019867	Anti-Glomerular Basement Membrane Disease	An autoimmune disease of the KIDNEY and the LUNG. It is characterized by the presence of circulating autoantibodies targeting the epitopes in the non-collagenous domains of COLLAGEN TYPE IV in the basement membranes of kidney glomeruli (KIDNEY GLOMERULUS) and lung alveoli (PULMONARY ALVEOLI), and the subsequent destruction of these basement membranes. Clinical features include pulmonary alveolar hemorrhage and glomerulonephritis.
