Epstein–Barr virus mucocutaneous ulcer followed by Hodgkin lymphoma in multiple myeloma patient

Abstract

Abstract Epstein–Barr virus mucocutaneous ulcers (EBV MCU) are B‐cell lymphoproliferative disorders associated with immunosuppression. We report EBV MCU in a multiple myeloma patient on lenalidomide maintenance after stem cell transplant that resolved with decreased immunosuppression. Furthermore, the subsequent development of classical Hodgkin lymphoma suggests an underlying predisposition to EBV‐driven lymphoproliferative disorders.
