Lactic acidosis (LA) has been reported to be associated with high grade lymphoma as a terminal event. Its causes are multi-factorial.

description Lactic acidosis (LA) has been reported to be associated with high grade lymphoma as a terminal event. Its causes are multi-factorial. It can either occur due to overproduction of lactic acid by rapidly dividing tumor or due to its underutilization due to involvement of liver by lymphomatous deposits. The prognosis of lymphoma associated with LA is dismal. We present a patient of non-Hodgkins lymphoma (NHL) who presented with LA, after an initial response succumbed.
