A 56-year-old male patient diagnosed as a case of procainamide-induced systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was found to have a lymphoproliferative disorder at postmortem examination.Contrary to other immune disorders, the association of SLE with neoplasia is a rare occurrence. The present case raises the question of whether a relationship exists between the lupus diathesis and lymphoreticular neoplasia. The study of the incidence of neoplasia in families of patients with SLE may prove helpful in establishing this relationship.
一名56岁男性患者被诊断为普鲁卡因胺诱发的系统性红斑狼疮（SLE），尸检发现患有淋巴增生性疾病。与其他免疫疾病不同，SLE与肿瘤形成的关联很少见。本病例提出了狼疮素质与淋巴网状肿瘤之间是否存在关联的问题。研究SLE患者家族中肿瘤的发病率可能有助于确定这种关联。
