Thymic cyst presenting as Horner's syndrome.

We describe a case of Horner's syndrome secondary to a thymic cyst. Following successful surgical removal of the cyst, the patient's symptoms resolved. To the best of our knowledge, a similar case has not been reported.

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma after prolonged remission of Hodgkin's disease in an HIV-infected patient.

Hodgkin's disease was diagnosed in a 22-year-old HIV-seropositive man in 1986. Alternate MOPP/ABVD chemotherapy induced a clinical remission. He was asymptomatic until 3 years later when fever and peripheral and mediastinal lymphadenopathy appeared. Lymph node biopsy showed a large-cell anaplastic lymphoma and EBV genome was identified in the malignant cells, suggesting that transformation might had been induced by EBV. The present case affirms that in patients with HIV-related lymphomas who present enlarging lymphadenopathy after stable remission, the development of lymphomas of higher malignancy needs to be ruled out.
