Abstract:
A case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with leukemic spread in a patient affected with homozygous sickle cell disease is reported. This association has not been previously described. A correlation between the malignancy and the hemoglobinopathy could not be etiologically ascertained; therefore, an alternative explanation to a chance event cannot be offered.
