Persistent polyclonal B cell lymphocytosis (PPBL) is a rare indolent condition characterized by a polyclonal expansion of B cells associated with binucleated lymphocytes observable on blood smears. Though polyclonal, recurrent genetic abnormalities have been described in PPBL, supernumerary isochromosome 3q (+i(3)(q10)) being the most frequently described. We report here two clinical observations showing the occurrence of NHL after the diagnosis of PPBL.
