Author ProfileAbstract
Lymphoblastic Lymphoma and Chronic Myeloid leukemia are two distinct
neoplasms with different pathogenesis and clinical presentation. We
hereby share a challenging case of a child presenting with fever,
leucocytosis, generalized lymphadenopathy and massive splenomegaly. He
was diagnosed as having novel association of concurrent T-Lymphoblastic
Lymphoma diagnosed on cervical lymph node biopsy with BCR-ABL Negative
Chronic Myeloid leukemia on bone marrow aspirate. Study of more such
cases is needed for optimal patient management.
