| Popis: | A patient with scleromyxoedema was treated for 6 years with cytostatic drugs. During this time the skin lesions followed a fluctuating but progressive course. After 6 years she developed Hodgkin’s lymphoma of the mixed cellularity type. Intensive cytostatic treatment given for Hodkin’s disease resulted in virtually complete disappearance of the scleromyxoedema lesions. The development of Hodgkin’s disease is considered fortuitous and not due to the previous cytostatic drugs. |
