Abstract:
Second malignancies are common in hairy cell leukemia. We report a case of a neuroendocrine carcinoma arising in a patient who had been diagnosed with hairy cell leukemia 6 years earlier. This case is the first report of these two tumors' occurring together. The pathogenetic basis for the presence of these two uncommon tumors in our patient is discussed.
