Abstract
The DiGeorge anomaly (DGA) is occasionally associated with cellular immunod eficiency. We report a female infant diagnosed with complete DGA, who devel oped fatal, high grade, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that expressed Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma should be considered in children with D GA.
