Peripheral Lymphocytosis in Angioimmunoblastic T-cell Lymphoma

Abstract

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is an aggressive and unique type of T-cell lymphoma. Patients typically present with constitutional B symptoms, generalized lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, cytopenias, and rash. We report a 63-year-old male who presented with fever, generalized lymphadenopathy, and features of plasma cell dyscrasia. Our report emphasizes the complexity of the presentation of AITL and aims to sensitize physicians for early diagnosis and an integrated treatment approach.
