[IgM/kappa-immunoblastoma of the brain following Hodgkin's disease. Report on a clinical case and review of literature].

Abstract

Report of a 41-year-old man who died from an intracerebrally localized pleomorphic IgM/kappa immunoblastoma 7 1/4 years after the diagnosis of nodular sclerosis in mediastinal lymph nodes and treatment by surgery, radiation and cytostatics. There was no evidence of residual Hodgkin's disease at autopsy. The cases of malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphomas after treated Hodgkin's disease reported in the literature are tabulated. The relationship of these secondary neoplasms to the primary disease and its treatment is discussed.
