Abstract:
A patient with an intermediate grade B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who presented with severe dyspnea caused by lymphoma-related lactic acidosis is described. The serum lactate and pyruvate levels paralleled the disease activity. Although oncologists are familiar with the relationship between bulky solid tumors and lactic acidosis, well-documented lymphoma cases are extremely rare.
