Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma presenting with coagulopathy due to anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome.
The clinical presentation of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) has been well recognized and characterized. Among the unusual presentations immunological and autoimmune phenomena have been reported. We describe a patient in whom NHL presented with lupus anticoagulants. The immunological and coagulation abnormalities at presentation and the complication during the course of NHL as well as their prognostic implication are discussed.
