    Abstract:
    A 57-year-old man was admitted with systemic lymphadenopathy. He had undergone resection for small cell lung carcinoma and received chemotherapy 6 years previously. A specimen of swollen lymph nodes showed malignant lymphoma. Surface marker analysis revealed the lymphoma to have the same characteristics as lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL). He received combination chemotherapy, but marked resistance was recognized. His condition deteriorated rapidly and died. Having the characteristics of LBL on lymphoma at an older age and severe drug-resistance suggests that this lymphoma might have been a second malignancy due to preceding chemotherapy.
