A middle-aged woman was treated for breast carcinoma with postoperative adjuvant chest wall irradiation, followed four and seven years later with therapy to spinal ports for palliation of metastatic disease. For the next three and a half years, she received oral cyclophosphamide on a daily basis to a total of more than 110 g. Twelve years after diagnosis and five years after the start of chemotherapy, an aggressive, large cell lymphoma of the ileum developed, with poor response to conventional therapy. This may represent the first patient with breast carcinoma in whom a treatment-induced non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has developed.
