Abstract
An unusual case of small cell variant of Ki-1 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma d iagnosed one year after an original diagnosis of idiopathic myelofibro sis is reported. On the second occasion, the patient presented with fe ver, lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly. A lymph node biopsy speci men confirmed a diagnosis of small cell variant of Ki-1 lymphoma. A re peat bone marrow biopsy specimen showed myelofibrosis with no evidence of lymphomatous infiltration, but cytogenetic studies on blood, bone marrow and skin fibroblasts revealed a novel chromosomal translocation t(3,4)(q13;q12).
