Abstract
Three new cases of Hodgkin's disease terminating in leukaemia are described and the literature is briefly reviewed. The patients developed acute lymphocytic leukaemia, acute eosinophilic leukaemia and chronic myeloid leukaemia, 6 1/4 years, 6 years and 7 months respectively after the initial diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease. The 2 patients who developed acute leukaemia had been in complete remission from the Hodgkin's disease and had received no treatment for 5 3/4 and 2 1/2 years respectively. Possible causes for the occurrence of leukaemia in patients with Hodgkin's disease are discussed.
