CASE REPORT A 59-year-old man presented with a 1-month history of epigastric pain. Computed tomography showed a tumor in the stomach with perigastric lymphadenopathy. Biopsy ...

Leukemic transformation of anaplastic large-cell lymphoma.

A 9-year-old boy was diagnosed with stage III ALK-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) with no evidence of bone marrow and central nervous system disease. Seven months later he had a normocytic anemia (hemoglobin 79 g/L), severe thrombocytopenia (platelets 15 109/L), and leukocytosis (white blood cell count 50.8 109/L). The automated differential showed neutrophils 28.5 109/L, monocyt...
