Abstract
- We report the case of a 47-year-old female who developed idiopathic eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome following complete remission of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. She had been diagnosed extranodal marginal zone B cell lymphoma of nasal cavity and treated with CHOP chemotherapy and radiotherapy. She complained fever, myalgia and the complete blood count showed markedly elevated eosinophil count. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was confirmed in complete remission state by PNS CT, nasal septum biopsy and bone marrow biopsy. The patient showed eosinophilia in peripheral blood, myositis in electromyography and muscle biopsy consistent with eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome. The symptoms were improved and the eosinophilia count was decreased after prednisolone medication. We report a case of idiopathic eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome with a review of the literature.
