Intern Med J. 2009 Aug;39(8):550-3. doi: 10.1111/j.1445-5994.2009.01968.x.

Abstract

The coexistence of chronic active hepatitis C with cryoglobulinemia and B-cell lymphoma has been presented in numerous case reports. However, the combination of these conditions with T-cell lymphoma has never been described before. We present the case of a patient who suffered chronic active hepatitis C, cryoglobulinaemia and B-cell lymphoma and was later complicated by cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL).
