Abstract

The association of hepatitis C and certain hemotological diseases (non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma, villous splenic lymphoma.) is a debated question which remains open due to discordant epidemiological data. We report the case of a new patient with chronic hepatitis C and tricholeukocyte leukemia.
