Angioimmunoblastic T-cell Lymphoma Associated with IgA Nephropathy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Few cases of IgA nephropathy with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) have been reported. We herein present the case of a 79-year-old Japanese man with AITL and IgA nephropathy. The patient presented with generalized edema, fatigue, and fever. Laboratory investigations revealed polyclonal gammopathy with a high level of IgA, microscopic hematuria, proteinuria, and some other immunological abnormalities. Computed tomography revealed generalized lymphadenopathy. A diagnosis of AITL and IgA nephropathy was made based on inguinal lymph node and renal biopsies. Following chemotherapy for AITL, the patient's edema, microscopic hematuria, and proteinuria were alleviated. These findings indicate that IgA nephropathy may occur in AITL patients.

Retrospective analysis of prognostic factors for angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma: a multicenter cooperative study in Japan.
Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is a major type of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). To elucidate the clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis of AITL in Japan, we retrospectively analyzed 207 patients with AITL. The median patient age was 67 years (range, 34-91 years), with 73% of patients older than 60 years. With a median follow-up of 42 months in surviving patients, 3-year...

We describe herein a case of nephrotic syndrome (NS) following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT) for natural killer cell leukemia/lymphoma. Histologic studies defined the diagnosis as crescentic glomerulonephritis with massive immunoglobulin A (IgA) deposition, which has never been reported in NS cases following allo-BMT. Most of the massive infiltrated cells in the interstice w...

BACKGROUND Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma is one of the most common types of peripheral T-cell lymphomas, usually presenting at an older age with an aggressive clinical course. Its characteristic morphological presentation and follicular helper T-cell phenotype help to distinguish it from other T-cell lymphomas. CASE PRESENTATION We recently encountered the unique case of a 63-year old pa...
متن کاملAngioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma: a relatively common type of T-cell lymphoma in Sjögren's syndrome.
An increased risk of developing lymphoma has been indicated in Sjögren's syndrome (SS), and the lymphomas in SS are usually B-cell type in origin. Interestingly, despite the rather low frequency of T-cell lymphoma in SS, angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AILD) constitute the majority of T-cell lymphomas associated with SS. To the best of our knowledge, including our case, at least 11 out of 2...
متن کاملMycosis Fungoides Associated with Kaposi's Sarcoma, T-cell Rich B-cell Lymphoma, and T-cell Lymphoma with Angioimmunoblastic Features.
A patient with mycosis fungoides (MF), Kaposi's sarcoma, T-cell rich B-cell lymphoma, and T-cell lymphoma with angioimmunoblastic features is described. The appearance of multiple malignancies in this patient may have been caused by previous exposure to radiation in the Chernobyl accident and/or systemic chemotherapy for the initial T-cell rich B-cell lymphoma which he underwent.
