The authors present four cases of low-grade (favorable) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma appearing after successful treatment of intermediate or high-grade (unfavorable) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. In each case, the patient had intermediate or high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, received multiagent chemotherapy, and entered complete remission lasting one to six years. Each patient had a relapse with low-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Possible explanations and therapeutic implications are discussed.
