Natural killer (NK) cell leukaemia in a patient with a B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

We describe a 74-year-old woman with the diagnosis of natural killer (NK)-cell leukaemia and autoimmune pathology. Four years previously, a diffuse large B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma had been diagnosed and treated effectively. Although NK-cell leukaemia has been thought to be a distinct highly aggressive clinicopathological entity, our case shows no further evolution at the present time. As far as we know, this association has not been previously described in the literature.

Persistent polyclonal B-cell lymphocytosis.

We present a case of persistent polyclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (PPBL). This syndrome is characterized by a persistent lymphocytosis with circulating atypical binucleated lymphocytes. The patient had serological evidence of a previous EBV infection, had raised polyclonal serum IgM levels and was a heavy smoker. No malignancy was detected.
