title: Malignant B-cell lymphoma in an infant with severe combined immunodeficiency with short-limbed skeletal dysplasia.
abstract: In an infant with skeletal anomalies and haemolytic disease, intestinal perforation was caused by necrosis of an as yet undetected B-cell lymphoma. Severe combined immunodeficiency with short-limbed skeletal dysplasia was diagnosed. This is the first published report of a patient with this syndrome in combination with haemolytic disease and B-cell-lymphoma.
