[Acute leukemia as terminal stage of Hodgkin's disease (author's transl)].
In a 61 year-old female patient with Hodgkin's disease treated with cytotoxic drugs and radiation therapy acute undifferentiated leukemia developed 10 years later. The possibility of a carcinogenic effect of the cytotoxic and actinic therapy is discussed. Leukemia complicating the course of Hodgkin's disease must be considered an independent disease and not a iatrogenic transformation of a preexisting lesion.
