Abstract
We present a case of juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) accompanied by immune-mediated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and Kikuchi's disease, both as a paraneoplastic phenomenon. As this combination, to the best of our knowledge, has not been described before, consensus on preferable treatment is lacking. Our patient was treated with prednisolone according to the few described cases of HLH and Kikuchi's disease in non-JMML patients, resulting in disappearance of the clinical symptoms.
