Mycosis fungoides and lymphoplasmacytoid immunocytoma in the same patient. A case report. 1984

M L Geerts, and J Hamers, and E W Schwarze, and A Kint, and H Roels, and K Lennert

The simultaneous occurrence of two different lymphomas in a 57-year-old white woman is reported: mycosis fungoides and a leukemic lymphoplasmacytoid immunocytoma. The first was confirmed by histologic study and electron microscopy, and the latter by histologic study and immunoperoxidase staining. The lymphoid cells in the involved bone marrow and peripheral blood expressed the same surface immunoglobulin as was found in the cytoplasm of the immunocytoma cells, i.e., IgM-lambda. The clonal B-cell expansion was brought into a lasting remission by chlorambucil, but the cutaneous lymphoma proved to be refractory to therapy. The patient died 38 months after diagnosis.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D008228 Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin Any of a group of malignant tumors of lymphoid tissue that differ from HODGKIN DISEASE, being more heterogeneous with respect to malignant cell lineage, clinical course, prognosis, and therapy. The only common feature among these tumors is the absence of giant REED-STERNBERG CELLS, a characteristic of Hodgkin's disease.
