ABSTRACT

The coexistence of autoimmune and lumphoproliferative disorders has rarely been reported. We report 3 cases of malignant lymphoma associated with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE). In one case, Hodgkin's disease and SLE occurred simultaneously. In the other 2 cases, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma occurred prior to and after development of lupus, respectively. The clinical courses of the patients are described with review of the literature.
