Cancer 58(9):2125-9 (1986) PMID 3093056

A 68-year-old man with a 7-year history of lymphocytosis and lymphadenopathy is described. Accelerated disease, indicated by bilateral optic nerve and cerebrospinal fluid involvement, prompted thorough histologic and immunologic assessment. Although initially believed to have chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), results showed mantle zone lymphoma (MZL) with central nervous system (CNS) involvement. The authors believe that this represents the first case of MZL with CNS involvement.

    We describe a case of drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) and graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) developing sequentially in a patient displaying reactivation of CMV. We discuss the possibility that similar pathogenic mechanisms may be involved in the development of DRESS and GvHD...
