Description

The authors present the case of a 44-year-old female patient with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus diagnosed 4 years earlier. She presented with constitutional symptoms and back pain and one month later a diagnosis of Non Hodgkin Lymphoma was established (subtype Diffuse Large B Cells Lymphoma). The risk of malignancy associated to SLE is discussed.
