Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in systemic lupus erythematosus: report of 4 cases with ultrastructural studies in 2.
Four patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are described. Except for low dose prednisone therapy in 1 patient, none of these patients had received immunosuppressive therapy prior to the lymphoma. This present series and literature review suggests an increased incidence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in SLE.
