Popis: | We report an index case of histiocytic sarcoma arising in a 70-year-old patient with long-standing chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL). The patient presented in 2017 with painful, enlarging swelling of the left neck. He had remote history of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma with no sign of recurrence, and his CLL/SLL was thought to be in remission. Computed tomography showed mild splenomegaly and multifocal lymphadenopathy including a 3-cm left neck mass. Biopsy of the left neck mass showed CLL/SLL with associated histiocytic sarcoma. Flow cytometry demonstrated a B cell neoplasm with CLL/SLL phenotype. Despite radiation therapy, he expired 3 months after presentation. Two similar cases (CLL/SLL and histiocytic sarcoma, follicular lymphoma and Langerhans cell sarcoma) from another institution are also illustrated. The pathological features of combined tumors in lymphoid neoplasms, a general framework to the work-up to determine interrelatedness of tumor components, and the clinical relevance are discussed. |
