Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia as Presenting Symptom of Hodgkin Lymphoma

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia as presenting manifestation of primary splenic anaplastic large cell lymphoma.

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is an unusual complication of malignancy. We diagnosed primary splenic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) in a patient. A seven-year-old boy presented with Coombs test-positive hemolytic anemia. After a course of prednisolone therapy, a complete response for anemia was achieved. Twenty months later, in addition to severe hemolytic anemia, the patient was di...

Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia preceding the Diagnosis of Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma

In this study, a 2.5-year-old boy suffering from a febrile seizure with normal laboratory tests and a history of immune hemolytic anemia was examined. Brain MRI demonstrated some tumors in the frontal, parietal, and occipital lobe that corroborated the pathology results of primary central nervous system lymphoma for the patient. The patient was treated with high- dose of Methotrexate. Our re...

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia and classical Hodgkin lymphoma: a case report and literature review.

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is rarely seen in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients, with a reported incidence of 0.2–4.2%.1-3 Sporadic case reports and reviews have shown that when AIHA occurs in HL patients, it happens mostly at stages III and IV of nodular sclerosis HL (NSHL) or mixed cellularity HL (MCHL).4 We present a case of AIHA at the time of diagnosis of classic HL, stage IIIB, with a...

Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia and Nodular Lymphocyte-Predominant Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Rare Association

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) has been associated with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and classical Hodgkin lymphoma, but to the best of our knowledge, the association of AIHA and nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) has not been reported previously. A 20-year-old woman presented with conjunctival jaundice, fever, asthenia, and hemoglobin 9.2 g/dL re...
