Background: During COVID-19 pandemic, as the prime care is directed towards the management of infected cases, patients with non-communicable diseases are subject to lack of attention. Pediatric Hematology Oncology patients demand holistic care therefore might get affected tremendously during this pandemic. Procedure: An online cross-sectional survey was carried out among the Pediatric Hematologists-Oncologists from all over Pakistan in order to assess the pandemic effects. Responses were received online and data analyzed in SPSS 16.0. Results: Survey was sent to 96 Pediatric Hematologists-Oncologists from 14 different centers with 50% response rate. Majority (62%) were working in public sector hospitals, 14% reported to have
Lymphoblastic lymphoma and chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) are two distinct neoplasms with different pathogenesis and clinical presentation. We hereby share a challenging case of a child presenting with fever, leucocytosis, generalised lymphadenopathy and massive splenomegaly. He was diagnosed as having novel association of concurrent T-lymphoblastic lymphoma diagnosed on cervical lymph node biopsy with BCR-ABL negative CML on bone marrow aspirate. The study of more such cases is needed for optimal patient management.
