Abstract
The presence of symptoms and clinical signs of activity and extranodal determination of a lymphoma are
sometimes in contrast with the result of hystopathological examination which has showed a lymphoma with low degree
of malignancy. This is also the case of the patient we present. The second hystopathological examination and
immunohistochemistry have determined that it was a nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin's lymphoma associated
with a diffuse large B cell nonHodgkin lymphoma. It is discussed the possible evolution of the first towards the
aggressive lymphoma or the fact that both hystopathological aspects may represent a spectrum of the same disease.
