Hodgkin lymphoma presenting with various immunologic abnormalities, including autoimmune hepatitis, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and immune thrombocytopenia.

Immunologic abnormalities have been described in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma, including autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) and immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). In this report, we describe a rare case of a 59-year-old woman who had autoimmune-mediated hepatitis and Hashimoto's thyroiditis at initial presentation of Hodgkin lymphoma. She was treated with ABVD (doxorubicin/bleomycin/vinblastine/dacarbazine), which induced a complete remission. One year later, she developed a sudden Coombs-positive hemolytic anemia and immune thrombocytopenia. She was diagnosed with Evans syndrome and was treated with prednisolone and intravenous immunoglobulin. However, the response of the therapies was poor; she died of progressive thrombocytopenia. The autopsy revealed the relapse of Hodgkin lymphoma of cervical lymph nodes. Although autoimmune disorders are described in Hodgkin lymphoma, our case shows a rare instance of a patient who had various immunologic abnormalities, including autoimmune-mediated hepatitis, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, AIHA, and ITP.
