Methods Four cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma occurring after treatment of Hodgkin's disease collected from 1983 to 1992 were reviewed. Results All cases complete with clinical data and two cases with autopsy data, had been diagnosed as Hodgkin's disease before treatment. During or after treatment, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was found. Their clinical characteristics were in accordance with the pathological findings. Conclusions Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma may occur after a successful radiotherapy or chemotherapy for Hodgkin's disease. Also non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and Hodgkin's disease may occur simultaneously.Read More
