A case of histiocytic medullary reticulosis complicated with x-ray-irradiated oral cancer.
We report the case of a patient in whom oral squamous cell carcinoma and a fatal reactive form of histiocytosis were simultaneously manifested. Our conclusions indicate that such a hematophagocytic syndrome may occur in the setting of oral squamous cell carcinoma as previously described in other malignancies.
