Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Summary</title> <p>The coexistence of non‐Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and Hodgkin disease (HD) in the same patient, although previously reported, is very unusual. This situation is extremely rare when the first diagnosis is a cutaneous B NHL, and exceptional if there is no personal background of cytostatic treatment. We report a 44‐year‐old man who developed cutaneous nodules over a period of two years. A marginal zone cutaneous B‐cell lymphoma was diagnosed. On staging investigation a mass in the lingual tonsil was found and excision biopsy showed a classical Hodgkin lymphoma.</p> </abstract>
