Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura associated with Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma

Abstract

Sir, Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare haematological disease characterised by thrombotic microangiopathy in the setting of diminished ADAMTS13 enzyme activity. Presenting as a classic constellation of clinical and laboratory findings, it can be classified as primary, or secondary from autoimmune conditions, or malignancy. We present the first case of TTP secondary to Hodgkin lymphoma and low grade B cell lymphoma.
