Ota S, Miyamoto S, Kudoh F, Horie H, Kinugawa N, Okimoto Y. Treatment for B‐cell‐type lymphoma in a girl associated with Bloom's syndrome. Clin Genet 1992:41:46–50.
A 12‐year‐old girl suffering from Bloom's syndrome developed B‐cell‐type lymphoma in the epipharynx. She was identified as having Bloom's syndrome at the age of 3.
While the tumor was eradicated completely by induction chemotherapy, the bone marrow suppression was severe and persistent. For this reason, we modified subsequent chemotherapy to a milder form. Thus the remaining therapy could be safely completed. This is the first case clearly diagnosed as having epipharyngeal B‐cell‐type lymphoma in the Bloom's Syndrome Registry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
