Abstract:
:Anti-TNF drugs may increase lymphoma risk in autoimmune rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, but there have been no reports stating increased risk of lymphoma in ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Before 2 years, we had presented a case with AS developing Hodgkin's lymphoma following 6 months of etanercept treatment. Hereby, we present another case with AS developing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), subsequent to 11 months of etanercept treatment. Pathological analysis revealed diffuse large B cell NHL. Although this is a report of a single case, cautious use of anti-TNF drugs is strongly recommended as they might cause lymphoma development even in AS.
