    Abstract:
    A case is presented of a female patient initially diagnosed of acute lymphoblastic leukemia who was treated achieving complete remission. Twenty six months later and while in remission of her leukemia, she presented an abdominal mass the histological study of which showed infiltration due to Hodgkin disease. She was treated with chemotherapy type MOPP and complete remission was achieved. Four months after completing treatment she presented pancytopenia in peripheral blood. A bone marrow study was performed observing a blastoid infiltration with morphological and cytochemical characteristics of acute non-lymphoblastic M-5 leukemia. The possible common origin of the three clinical pictures is discussed given the recent findings regarding the origin of Reed-Sternberg cell.
