ABSTRACT
Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a rare B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder. Patients typically present with cytopenia and splenomegaly. We describe the case of a 78-year-old patient with refractory HCL who acutely developed a cystic lesion on the back while receiving moxetumomab pasudotox therapy. Biopsy of the lesion revealed the presence of adenocarcinoma, which prompted a detailed evaluation resulting in a diagnosis of stage IV gastric cancer. Nevertheless, to establish any association between moxetumomab pasudotox therapy and secondary cancer development, a satisfactory number of studies need to be conducted.
