We report a patient from an endemic area of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), who developed lymphoma with features characteristic of Hodgkin's disease (HD). Large atypical Reed-Sternberg/Hodgkin's cells (RS/H cells) had a CD3-CD15+ CD20-CD30+ CD45RO-immunophenotype. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latent membrane protein and EBV-encoded small RNA were detected in the RS/H cells. The patient received C-MOPP/ABVD chemotherapy for the HD resulting in a partial response. However, relapse occurred and he died of disease progression associated with serious bacterial infection. Although serial lymph node biopsies revealed consistent presence of the EBV-positive RS/H cells, the background small lymphocytes showed progressive increase in pleomorphism and nuclear irregularity. The lymphocytes had the T-cell phenotype, CD3+ CD4+ CD7-CD8-. Southern blot analysis using DNA probes for the human T-cell lymphotrophic virus-I (HTLV-I) and the T-cell receptor beta-chain gene demonstrated expansion of the HTLV-I infected monoclonal T-cells with the disease progression. We concluded that the patient synchronously presented two independent lymphoproliferative disorders; EBV-associated HD and ATLL resulting from HTLV-I infection.
