Spontaneous complete remission of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma.
Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is a rare hematologic neoplasm that typically presents with B symptoms, anemia, and lymphadenopathy. Its overall prognosis is poor, with a 5-year survival rate of 30%. We present a case of AITL that went into spontaneous remission, an uncommon occurrence.

The lymphoma cell is a peripheral T lymphocyte in various stages of differentiation. The neoplastic clone expresses T-cell antigens and is usually CD4+. The malignant T-cells are believed to secrete cytokines responsible for the polyclonal B-cell hyperplasia observed in involved nodes. Clonality studies demonstrated a monoclonal rearrangement of the bchain of the T-cell receptor (TCR) in the ma...

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is a frequent subtype of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) that is clinically characterized by generalized lymphadenopathy, extranodal involvement, advanced stage at presentation, hypergammaglobulinemia, and significant immune dysregulation resulting in infections as the most common cause of death. Recent advances in pathobiology of AITL have improved o...
متن کاملConjunctival Angioimmunoblastic T-Cell Lymphoma.
Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) represents an uncommon variant of T-cell lymphomas and most often presents insidiously with systemic symptoms. This report constitutes the first documented case of conjunctival AITL, masquerading as nodular episcleritis, and describes both the clinical and pathological findings. Furthermore, conjunctival T-cell lymphoma in general remains a rare occurre...
متن کاملAngioimmunoblastic T-Cell Lymphoma: A Diagnostic Challenge
Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) accounts for 15-20% of all peripheral T-cell lymphomas. It is a rare subtype of CD4 T-cell peripheral lymphoma that affects aged individuals, causing B symptoms, generalized lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly. Its pathogenesis is still unclear, but in some cases it has been associated with infection, allergic reaction or drug exposure. The majority ...
