- ArticleBale JF, Wilson JF, Hill HR.Cancer. 1977 Jun;39(6):2386-90.A 10-year-old girl with eczema, asthma, recurrent abscesses, middle ear infections and pneumonias developed a histiocytic lymphoma of the brain. Immunologic evaluation revealed hyperimmunoglobulinemia E, depressed neutrophil chemotaxis, absent delayed hypersensitivity skin test tests, low T-lymphocyte numbers and depressed in vitro lymphocyte responses. The occurrence in this patient of a histiocytic lymphoma, which is commonly associated with more classic immunodeficiency syndromes or immunosuppression for transplantation, suggests that individuals with hyperimmunoglobulinemia E and recurrent infections may also be at increased risk for developing unusual malignancies.
