Five cases of malignant histiocytosis (MH) in patients being treated for acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) have been previously reported. Two additional cases are described here, all known cases are reviewed, and the phenomenon is discussed. The most tenable explanation for this phenomenon appears to be that ALL and MH may have been interrelated in these patients with both diseases originating from a common stem cell.
先前已有报道称,5例正在接受急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)治疗的患者发生了恶性组织细胞增多症(MH)。本文描述了另外2例病例,对所有已知病例进行了回顾,并对该现象进行了讨论。对于这一现象,最合理的解释似乎是,在这些患者中,ALL和MH可能相互关联,两种疾病均起源于共同的干细胞。
