Secondary malignancies are relatively common and clinically important phenomena following both chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The majority of these cases are acute leukemias, the occurrence of which have been thoroughly documented and studied. More rarely, chronic myeloid leukemias (CML) may arise subsequent to treatment of a primary malignancy. Literature review on such developments following treatment of Hodgkin's Lymphoma (HL) is scant. Herein, the authors present three cases of CML diagnosed within five years of treatment initiation for Hodgkin's Lymphoma (HL); one of the three patients had CML with atypical variant carrying a rare mutation with BCR-JAK2 fusion.
