A case of non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma associated with eosinophilia is reported. The lymphoma was of the diffuse, large‐cell type and was of B‐cell origin. The number of eosinophils decreased with combination chemotherapy, along with a reduction in the size of the lymph nodes. Eosinophilia reappeared with the regrowth of lymphoma. The relationship between B‐cell lymphoma and eosinophilia is discussed.
