Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL) are the two most aggressive forms of non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs). Spontaneous remission of DLBCL is a rare phenomenon. Immune system activation has been observed to play a significant role in the regression of untreated disease on some occasions. We present a case of DLBCL in a 75-year-old male patient who has been free of disease for two months without any treatment due to possible immune-related mechanism, but later he presented with FL.
弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL)和滤泡性淋巴瘤(FL)是两种侵袭性最强的非霍奇金淋巴瘤(NHL)形式。DLBCL的自发缓解是一种罕见现象。在某些情况下,已观察到免疫系统激活在未经治疗的疾病消退中起重要作用。我们报告一例75岁男性DLBCL患者,由于可能的免疫相关机制,未经任何治疗已无病两个月,但后来他出现了FL。
