Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) are two different origins of hematological malignancies, which rarely occur at the same time. Moreover, NHL secondary to CML is common in T cell lymphoma, while NHL of B cell origin is rare. Since 1999, only 22 cases with B cell lymphoma have been reported, of which 4 cases have diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The lesions of DLBCL were in lymph node, liver, jejunum, and soft palate. To our knowledge, it has no report for the primary gastric DLBCL (PG-DLBCL) occurring in CML. Here we reported a 63-year-old man of chronic phase (CP) CML associated with PG-DLBCL. The patient was diagnosed with CML nearly eight years ago and was treated with imatinib and nilotinib successively. However, gastroscopy found malignant lesions in the patient's stomach in March 2018, and the masses were diagnosed as PG-DLBCL. Subsequently, with the treatment of the RCOP + lenalidomide regimen chemotherapy for 3 cycles, the patient achieved nearly complete remission (CR).
