The case of a patient with the diagnosis of
essential thrombocythemia
is presented. Following treatment with melphalan during three years the patient presented clinical and radiologic data of
pulmonary fibrosis
. Thoracotomy with lung biopsy histologically proving fibrosis was performed. The patient developed a true histiocytic lymphoma afterwards. The rarity of
pulmonary fibrosis

essential thrombocythemia
and histiocytic lymphoma is emphasized. The characteristics of the latter disease, diagnostic difficulties and possible treatment are commented upon.
