Article Synopsis
- Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, illustrated through a case involving a 60-year-old female with symptoms like fatigue, fever, weight loss, and swollen lymph nodes for six months.
- Despite extensive lab tests and imaging, the initial lymph node biopsy was inconclusive, but further PET-CT revealed a treatable adenopathy that confirmed the AITL diagnosis.
- The patient's condition worsened despite chemotherapy, leading to a focus on symptomatic treatment, ultimately resulting in her passing six months after diagnosis due to the challenges in identifying this complex disease.
