A patient with a classical salivary gland benign lymphoepithelial lesion (BLL) that converted to a lymphoblastic lymphoma (LSA) localized to the salivary glands is described. The malignant transformation of the BLL was preceded by Dilantin anticonvulsant therapy, and in vitro tests subsequent to the development of LSA demonstrated positive Dilantin-induced lymphocyte transformation. The lymphoma was treated successfully by local irradiation, chemotherapy, and discontinuation of Dilantin. The case illustrates the "prelymphomatous" nature of BLL in certain patients, as well as the possible potential danger of Dilantin and other lymphoid-stimulating drugs in discussed. Further study of drugs capable lymphocyte transformation in patients with prelymphomatous disorders is warranted.[1]
