Abstract
We report a new case of coincidence of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and mixed cellularity Hodgkin's disease (HD) in the same lymph node. These findings were corroborated by immunohistochemical study showing Reed-Sternberg (RS) cells, with typical immunophenotype in an inflammatory background, closely related to a small neoplastic lymphoid cell population. This is an uncommon feature, and, to our knowledge, this is the first case published in the Spanish literature.
