Abstract

Coombs positive autoimmune hemolytic anemia, accompanied to Hodgkin’s lymphoma, was firstly defined in 1967. Hodgkin’s disease along with autoimmune hemolytic anemia is rare. Autoimmune hemolytic anemia may appear before Hodgkin’s disease, during the diagnosis, or years after the diagnosis. Here, two women cases, one of 16-year-old applying with cervical lymphadenopathy and hemolytic crisis and receiving autoimmune hemolytic anemia diagnosis and the other 34-year-old, two years ago treated with diagnosis of nodular sclerosing type of Hodgkin’s lymphoma with thrombocytopenia and hemolytic anemia (Evans syndrome) were presented. The first case was resistant to the immunosuppressive treatment and splenectomy. Because of the hemolytic anemia, portal vein thrombosis developed after the splenectomy. After the diagnosis of Hodgkin’s disease, hemolytic anemia of the patient improved after chemotherapy. The second case responded to the immunosuppressive treatment. The patient was evaluated for lymphoma recurrence and no recurrence was determined. In conclusion; these cases show that during the diagnosis or after the remission of Hodgkin’s lymphoma, autoimmune hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia can be seen.

Özet

Hodgkin lenfomaya eşlik eden coombs pozitif otoimmün hemolitik anemi ilk olarak 1967 yılında tanımlanmıştır. Hodgkin lenfoma otoimmün hemolitik anemi ve trombositopeni birlikteliği nadirdir. Otoimmün hemolitik anemi Hodgkin lenfomadan önce, tanı sırasında veya tanıdan yıllar sonra ortaya çıkabilir. Burada 16 yaşında, servikal lenfadenopati ve hemolitik kriz ile başvuran ve otoimmün hemolitik anemi tanısı alan ve 34 yaşında 2 yıl önce noduler sklerozan tip hodgkin lenfoma tanısı ile tedavi edilen ve kliniğimize trombositopeni ve hemolitik anemi ile yatırılıp evans sendromu tanısı konulan iki kadın olgu sunuldu. Birinci olgu immünsüpresif ve splenektomi tedavilerine dirençliydi. Olguda hemolitik anemi nedeni ile splenektomi yapıldıktan sonra portal ven trombozu gelişti. Hodgkin lenfoma tanısı sonrası uygulan kemoterapi ile hastanın hemolitik anemisi düzeldi. İkinci olgu immunsüpresif tedaviye cevap verdi. Lenfoma nüksü açısından değerlendirilen hastada nüks saptanmadı. Sonuç olarak; bu olgular bize nadir de olsa otoimmün hemolitik anemi ve trombositopenin hodgkin lenfoma ile birlikte veya hastalık remisyona girdikten sonra görülebileceğini göstermektedir.
