The authors describe the clinical and histopathologic picture of immunoblastic lymphadenomegaly in a 66-year-old patient with allergic antecedents. The condition of the patient ameliorated following cortisone and antibiotic therapy, but adenomegalia relapsed after several months. PAS-positive granular inclusions were found in the macrophage cells in the germinative centres of the follicles, showing the aspect of a blockade with nuclear significance.

Background: Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is a distinct subtype of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) and accounts for 2% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Its typical characteristics include an aggressive course, progressive lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, systemic symptoms, anemia, hypergammaglobulinemia, and generally poor prognosis.

Methods: We describe a rare case in which the left inguinal lymph node was completely excised and biopsied one year ago.

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is a kind of aggressive T-cell lymphoma with significant enrichment of non-malignant tumor microenvironment (TME) cells. However, the complexity of TME in AITL progression is poorly understood. We performed single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-seq) and imaging mass cytometry (IMC) analysis to compare the cellular composition and spatial architecture between relapsed/refractory AITL (RR-AITL) and newly diagnosed AITL (ND-AITL).

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to identify clinical factors affecting survival and treatment outcomes for patients with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) and to create a new prognostic model for this disease.
  • An analysis of 231 AITL patients showed a median age of 63, with most in advanced stages, and the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 17 months and 6 months, respectively.
  • The newly developed prognostic model categorizes patients into risk groups based on factors such as age and performance status, allowing for better prediction of survival outcomes, though there's still no clear consensus on the best initial treatment for AITL.

Although vasculitis and renal involvement might be associated with malignancy, they are rarely associated with lymphoproliferative diseases. We observed a case of immunoglobulin A vasculitis associated with segmental and focal glomerulonephritis in a patient with Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma. The most interesting aspect of this case is that this patient's main initial manifestations were skin rash and fever.
