Increasingly, reports have shown that a small percentage of patients with NLPHL may transform to a more aggressive lymphoma concurrently or many years later. This case highlights a 58 year-old man who developed NLPHL at age 33 and progressed to a high-grade malignant lymphoma 25 years later. The purpose of this report is to share this patient’s unusual clinical course and provide a pertinent literature review of NLPHL... View More»
