In most of these cases the ultimate leukemic cell type has usually been one of a variety of the lymphocytic series.1, 2, 3, 4 However, a report published in 1954 concerned a patient with reticulum cell lymphoma whose final event was acute myeloid leukemia.5 We wish to add another instance of this unusual association by reporting a case of giant follicular lymphoma that terminated in acute myelocytic leukemia.CASE REPORTThe patient was a 43 year old housewife whose first symptoms developed in April, 1950, when she...Bibliography1.
