Abstract
- A 71-year-old man who had no prior history of chemotherapy or radiation therapy was diagnosed with nodular sclerosis Hodgkin's disease (HD) and IgA-kappa multiple myeloma (MM) simultaneously. The patient achieved a complete response of HD and a minor response of MM after 6 cycles of COPP/ABV chemotherapy. Thereafter, he had received oral mephalan and prednisolone without disease progression for 12 months. At 27-month follow-up, he succumbed to overwhelming pneumonia and septic shock with progressive disease of MM. We present this case as a first report of simultaneous occurrence of HD and MM in South Korea.
