Abstract

A 40-year-old male developed 66 months after diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease a non-Hodgkin lymphoma of high grade malignancy. Initially he had been treated by irradiation because of Hodgkin's disease PS IIA. After 2 years of remission he had relapsed and had received MOPP and CCNU. After 2 years without any therapy he developed the secondary neoplasm. With increasing frequency of long term survivors late complications, either therapy related or caused by immunologic defects, are observed.
