Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare fatal clinical syndrome characterized by a hyperinflammatory condition caused by aberrantly activated macrophages and cytotoxic T cells, resulting in a cytokine storm and organ impairment. Lymphoma, especially B-cell lymphoma in Japan, is a common trigger of secondary HLH. In China, however, most cases of HLH secondary to lymphoma occur in patients with T-cell/natural killer-cell lymphoma or Hodgkin`s lymphoma; HLH is relatively uncommon in patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. We herein describe a man with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and secondary HLH who was successfully treated by R-CHOP-E chemotherapy. All symptoms resolved and laboratory indications of HLH normalized, and complete remission of the lymphoma was achieved. This rare case highlights not only the possibility of HLH secondary to DLBCL but also the importance of early initiation of R-CHOP-E chemotherapy.
