A case report of Down syndrome and centroblastic lymphoma

D Satge et al. Pathol Res Pract. 1996 Dec.

Abstract

We describe a case of left cervical stage I centroblastic lymphoma in a 29-year old male patient with Down's syndrome due to a (14; 21) Robertsonian translocation. The disease presented as extensive lymph node necrosis leaving rare areas of tumor cells, accounting for the diagnostic difficulties. According to our review of the literature, lymphoma is one of the most common neoplasms in DS patients and may represent the second most common malignancy in this condition, far behind leukemia.
