Three patients developed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) 3 to 6 years after treatment for Hodgkin's disease (HD). In no instance was there evidence of recurrence of HD following the initial chemotherapy or radiotherapy. None of these patients had received both radiation therapy and chemotherapy. All patients responded well to conventional chemotherapy for NHL and are alive at 23 +, 37 +, and 65+ months after that secondary diagnosis. This report, when coupled with at least ten other such reported patients, suggests that NHL may be a relatively uncommon but significant complication of therapy for HD and must be distinguished for recurrence of HD.
