A female patient presenting with B-CLL and coincident eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome (EMS) after ingestion of L-tryptophan is described. The manifestations of EMS disappeared completely during treatment with cyclophosphamide/prednisone. and there was an intermittent clinical remission of CLL with absence of the monoclonal B-cell population. A few years later, the B-CLL relapsed, but without sign and symptoms of EMS. Whereas other eosinophilic syndromes such as eosinophilic fasciitis, panniculitis, or cellulitis Wells have been found to occur in relation to malignant underlying diseases, only a single patient with malignant fibrous histiocytoma following EMS has been described. There are no reports about an increased occurrence of B-CLL or other non-Hodgkin's lymphomas combined with or following EMS or related to L-tryptophan itself. The variant types of eosinophilic syndromes occurring due to malignant disorders, the differentiation from EMS, and the possible association between B-CLL and L-tryptophan-related EMS are discussed.
