Abstract

Composite lymphoma is defined as the occurrence of two or more distinct lymphoma types in a single anatomic site. We report a case of Richter syndrome with both Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the bone marrow. This diagnostic was suspected because of discrepancies between histological and cytological results.

Keywords: Hodgkin lymphoma; Richter syndrome; composite lymphoma; non‐Hodgkin lymphoma.
