Summary

A patient is presented who developed a diffuse mixed lymphoma after successful treatment of small cell undifferentiated carcinoma of the lung. The patient was treated with cytotoxic chemotherapy and irradiation for the lung cancer, and had no recurrence during 6 years with no treatment. He then developed stage IV lymphoma. The relationship between these two cancers and the occurrence of treatment-induced second malignancies in small cell carcinoma are discussed.
