Relapsed mantle cell lymphoma presenting with lactic acidosis and hypoglycemia: A case report.

Abstract

Lactic acidosis and hypoglycemia are rare presentations of malignancy with a poor prognosis. We present the case of a mantle cell lymphoma patient who relapsed with lactic acidosis and hypoglycemia. Although blood glucose, pH, and lactate normalized following chemotherapy and intensive care support, the patient died from ventilator-associated pneumonia.
