Chemotherapy for lymphoma may be avoided in the presence of coincident cytopenia. In case of immune cytopenia secondary to lymphoma, treatment of cytopenia is the same for primary cases, however, chemotherapy for lymphoma may be effective at the cost of severe hematological toxicity. The present study reports a complex case of thrombocytopenia and direct antiglobulin test-negative hemolytic anemia, thus mimicking Evans syndrome, secondary to cluster of differentiation 5-positive B-cell lymphoma with massive splenomegaly, in a patient suffering from rheumatoid arthritis for two decades. Treatment with prednisolone, high-dose dexamethasone, eltrombopag and rituximab for cytopenia were not effective. Chemotherapy with bendamustine subsequently resolved the cytopenia, additionally resulting in a complete remission of lymphoma. Thus, bendamustine may have a role in the management of lymphoma complicated with severe cytopenia.
