Co-existence of cutaneous true histiocytic lymphoma with refractory anaemia: report of a case

Haematologia (Budap). 2000;30(1):61-7. doi: 10.1163/15685590051129913.

Abstract

The case of a 70-year-old man with refractory anaemia who developed cutaneous true histiocytic lymphoma two years after diagnosis, is described. Whether this association is a simple coincidence or indicates some etiopathogenetic relationship between these two unrelated disorders is unknown and needs the analysis of more cases.
