This is a case report of a patient with invasive thymoma. Subsequently to radiotherapy and steroids, a combination chemotherapy of cis‐platinum (CDDP) and doxorubicin was tested with good results. The patient later developed a chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL); morphologically and cytochemically a T‐CLL with skin localizations, hepatomegaly, and a high leukocyte count. Cancer 52:313‐317, 1983.
