[Nosebleed, vision disorders].
A 79-year-old man had repeated episodes of nose bleeding, disturbances of vision and anemia. Elevated WBC and lymphocytosis suggested chronic lymphatic leukemia. Serum electrophoresis revealed IgM paraproteinemia. The disease progressed rapidly under appropriate therapy. An autopsy revealed NHL of the lymphoplasmocytoid type (IWF: A--LP-immunocytoma), a NHL carrying a slightly poorer prognosis than classical chronic lymphatic leukemia.
