A 47-year-old man with persistent severe oropharyngeal ulceration developed a high-grade T-cell lymphoma soon after commencing treatment with cyclosporin A. Using Southern blotting to identify T-cell beta-chain gene rearrangements, evidence of clonal restriction was found both in blood and lymph node DNA samples. Two BamH1 rearranged bands were demonstrated in both samples. In the blood a 16 Kb band predominated, with a weaker 28 kb band. In the lymph node sample this pattern was reversed. The findings suggest that a bi-clonal population of T-lymphocytes or clonal evolution of an existing T-cell monoclone had developed, and that cyclosporin contributed to the emergence of a high-grade T-cell lymphoma.
