A 66-year-old woman presented to the hospital with a one-month history of shortness of breath, fatigue, and postmenopausal vaginal bleeding and a one-week history of chest pain. This case report discusses the rare synchronous occurrence of two different malignancies in the setting of non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction and the relation between these unfortunate events. Besides the case presented in this report, there have been only 13 reported cases of synchronous chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) associated with metastatic squamous cell carcinoma. While it is well known that malignancy causes a hypercoagulable state, there are other mechanisms which may have contributed to the patient’s myocardial ischemia including external vascular compression, tumor lysis syndrome, and anemia. This case report discusses the rarity of synchronous malignancies but the importance of understanding and consideration of cardiac events in this population.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients are at an increased risk for developing more aggressive lymphomas via Richter’s transformation and of developing secondary malignancies. Despite the known association for secondary cancers, oropharyngeal cancers occur rarely. We present a case of a woman with a history of CLL who presented to our facility via transfer for impending airway compromise. Her initial workup was consistent with CLL; however, biopsies were taken of the neck mass because of its aggressive nature. She was treated with rituximab with good response. Final pathology showed evidence of CLL and tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Direct laryngoscopy and further biopsies yielded a diagnosis of unresectable oropharyngeal SCC. She was to be treated with chemotherapy and radiation for her SCC while holding treatment for CLL. This case demonstrates a rare and unexpected concurrent diagnosis.
