B-cell lymphoma associated with eosinophilia.
A case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma associated with eosinophilia is reported. The lymphoma was of the diffuse, large-cell type and was of B-cell origin. The number of eosinophils decreased with combination chemotherapy, along with a reduction in the size of the lymph nodes. Eosinophilia reappeared with the regrowth of lymphoma. The relationship between B-cell lymphoma and eosinophilia is discussed.
