| Résumé : | We report the case of a 66 year-old woman with an eleven-year history of thyroid large B-cell lymphoma, treated with chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy, achieving remission, who presented fever and lymphadenopathies. The diagnosis procedure, including biopsy, concluded a Kikuchi disease, a rare, benign, immune disease characterised by fever and lymphadenopathies, generally occurring in young women. Given the symptoms persistence, a second lymph node biopsy was performed 3 months later, showing a mixed cellularity (T- and B- cells) lymphoma which could be either a biclonal or a T-cell rich/ histiocyte rich large B-cell lymphoma. The patient was treated with 4 cycles of R-megaCHOP regimen, followed by autologous stem-cell transplantation. Evidence is lacking to determine whether this lymphoma, the first lymphoma and the Kikuchi disease are linked. |
