title: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia occurring as a second malignancy: report of a case and review of literature.
abstract: Secondary leukemias occurring after the treatment of childhood malignancies are most often acute nonlymphoblastic leukemias. Only rarely do acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALL) occur as second malignancies. An 18-year-old boy who developed ALL 4 years after Hodgkin's disease is described and the literature on secondary ALL is reviewed.
