Sarcoidosis, Hodgkin's disease, and autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
Reported is the unique occurrence of sarcoidosis, Hodgkin's disease, and autoimmune hemolytic anemia in the same patient. Although the diagnosis of sarcoidosis preceded that of Hodgkin's disease by 29 years, massive splenomegaly had been present for 13 years before Hodgkin's disease was diagnosed following splenectomy. The known associations of sarcoidosis and Hodgkin's disease as well as each disease with autoimmune hemolytic anemia are reviewed.
