Lancet. 1977 Oct 29;2(8044):900-3. doi: 10.1016/s0140-6736(77)90834-0.

Abstract

Three patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia are reported in whom Hodgkin's disease developed during chemotherapy-maintained remission. This association has been reported only once before. The pathogenesis of the Hodgkin's disease in these patients is discussed, including the possible role of anti-leukaemic therapy.
