We report the development of
hypothermia
in a patient with Hodgkin lymphoma which resolved with chemotherapy administration. A review of the literature revealed 16 previous reports of
hypothermia
in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma. Overall prognosis seems to be unfavorable. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of
hypothermia
in a patient with Hodgkin lymphoma transforming from chronic lymphocytic leukemia (
Richter's syndrome
). A possible pathophysiology could be paraneoplastic autonomic neuropathy. Physicians should be aware that Hodgkin lymphoma can present with
hypothermia
and should carefully monitor newly diagnosed patients with advanced disease for this complication. Likewise, patients with Hodgkin lymphoma who develop
hypothermia
should be screened for signs of autonomic neuropathy.
