A rare case of discordant lymphoma was reported in a 60-year-old Pakistani woman with Hodgkin's lymphoma and concurrent Burkitt leukemia/lymphoma, highlighting the unusual presence of both malignancies.
The patient had high levels of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA and positive EBV detection in tumor samples, suggesting a significant role of the virus in the disease.
This case is notable due to the rare combination of Hodgkin's lymphoma and Burkitt lymphoma occurring simultaneously, raising important considerations for clinical features, treatment responses, and prognosis.
