Résumé
La fase leucémica como presentación de un linfoma folicular es rara y debe ser considerada factor de mal pronóstico. Por otra parte, la asociación entre linfoma folicular y síndrome mielodisplásico no se ha descrito. Se presenta el caso de una paciente en la que se detectó marcada leucocitosis y a la que se diagnosticó un linfoma folicular. Recibió quimioterapia con R-CHOP y FCR cuando recayó. Meses después, se realizó un aspirado medular en el cual se observaron cambios compatibles con mielodisplasia, únicamente recibió terapia de soporte y finalmente evolucionó a leucemia mieloide aguda. Aunque se conoce que la mielodisplasia puede ser secundaria al uso de quimioterapia, la paciente presentó además trisomía del cromosoma 11, descrita previamente en mielodisplasia y linfoma tipo Burkitt, la cual pudiera estar en relación con la evolución a leucemia mieloide aguda(AU)
Follicular lymphoma rarely presents with a leukemic phase and this should be considered a negative prognostic factor. Also, follicular lymphoma and myelodysplastic syndrome association has not been previously reported. Herein we present a patient who debuted with marked hyperleukocytosis and was diagnosed with follicular lymphoma, receiving CHOP-R and FCR after she relapsed. Several months later, secondary myelodysplastic changes were observed in her bone marrow. She received supportive therapy and finally progressed into acute myeloid leukemia. Although secondary myelodysplasia is known to be produced by chemotherapy, this patient additionally had trisomy 11, previously described in myelodysplasia and Burkitt's lymphoma, which could be linked to progression to acute myeloid leukemia(AU)

Spontaneous tumour lysis syndrome is characterized by hyperuricemia, hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, metabolic acidosis and hypocalcemia, that occur even prior to the treatment of a neoplasm. This rare occurrence was encountered in a patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), of follicular cell type. Conservative but intensive treatment led to complete resolution. Subsequent chemotherapy was well tolerated.

We describe a rare case of follicular dendritic cell tumour which had arisen over the background of hyaline vascular type of Castleman's disease at the mediastinal location. Constellation of histology and immunohistochemistry using CD21 antibody and non-reactivity to CD15, CD30, cytokeratin and epithelial membrane antigen helped us diagnose this case. The literature is reviewed, specially with reference to the genesis of follicular dendritic cell neoplasm at the backdrop of Castleman's disease and its clinical relevance.
