In an infant with skeletal anomalies and haemolytic disease, intestinal perforation was caused by necrosis of an as yet undetected B‐cell lymphoma. Severe combined immunodeficiency with short‐limbed skeletal dysplasia was diagnosed. This is the first published report of a patient with this syndrome in combination with haemolytic disease and B‐cell‐lymphoma.
