Abstract
The patients with a hematopoietic neoplasm can develop myelodysplastic syndrome following chemotherapy. We report herein a case of non-Hodgk in B-cell lymphoma and refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts. Abs ence of the preceding chemotherapy establishes the true coincidence of the two disorders. We review 25 similar cases reported in the last 11 years and discuss the possible etiology of coexistence.
