[Generalized hemorrhagic diathesis and anemia of sudden onset caused by rhabdomyolysis diagnosed as acute leukosis].

A case of severe acute rhabdomyolysis (RML) is reported which was caused by marked hypokalemia associated with long-lasting diarrhea. Since the patient not only had severe muscular symptoms but also intense hemorrhagic diathesis and anemia, the first diagnosis on admission was acute leukemia. Due to the increasing occurrence of acute RML associated with different clinical conditions, including hematologic disorders, the hematologist should keep in mind the possibility of RML, both as a primitive disorder or complication, and require CPK and myoglobin assay routinely.

[Lymphomatoid granulomatosis. Lymphoma of a particular type which is very difficult to diagnose].

This paper reports two cases of lymphomatoid granulomatosis. Since at presentation the disease is generally characterized by lung involvement without any typical clinical manifestation and/or laboratory finding, it is generally diagnosed as interstitial lung disorder or neoplasm of the lung. The pathological feature of lymphomatoid granulomatosis is an angiocentric and angioinvasive polymorphic cellular infiltrate with necrotic areas, affecting primarily the lungs. Until recently this disorder was mainly known to pneumologists. Recent studies, however, have clearly shown that lymphomatoid granulomatosis is a particular lymphoproliferative disease which may progress to frank lymphoma in a proportion of cases. Therefore, lymphomatoid granulomatosis should be included within the neoplastic hematological disorders. Unfortunately, hematologists are not yet familiar enough with this disorder, whose diagnosis is very difficult in the majority of cases.
