RESUMO
Collision tumors are rare neoplasms displaying two distinct cell populations developing in juxtaposition to one another without areas of intermingling. There are currently no guidelines for the recommended treatment for such rare collision cases. We herein report a unique case of a 45-year-old female who presented with a left-sided palpable inguinal lymph node. A subsequent excisional biopsy yielded a diagnosis of collision lymphoma (CL) of nodular sclerosing Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and germinal center diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). This case report highlights the challenges in managing CL and the potential efficacy of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone, and rituximab regimen (R-CHOP) and adjuvant radiation therapy (RT) in treating this rare condition. Our goal is to enrich the literature with our case on CL in an attempt to progress to a path of ultimately establishing a definitive treatment approach to CL of DLBCL and HL.
