A patient with angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy was treated with chemotherapy to complete remission for 13 years. A single relapse, self-limited, occurred followed 2 years later by the appearance of a disseminated non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with prominent cutaneous lesions and hypogammaglobulinemia. Cells from the peripheral blood and an affected lymph node were characterized by immunologic studies as deriving from the T8 subset of lymphocytes, suggesting a functional relationship between these suppressor cells and the patient's clinical manifestations.

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).

Although rearrangement of the MYC oncogene (MYC-R) is frequently observed in aggressive B-cell lymphomas, it is extremely rare in T-cell malignancies. A 64-year-old man who had been under observation for several years because of asymptomatic pulmonary extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALToma) was admitted to our hospital because of poor general condition and hypotension. Blood tests revealed thrombocytopenia and elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase levels, whereas computed tomography revealed systemic lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly.

Article Synopsis
- Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that can show various clinical symptoms, and this report discusses a specific case where it was accompanied by pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
- An 84-year-old man with a history of gastric cancer showed symptoms like shortness of breath and was found to have lymphadenopathy, pleural effusion, and severe PAH, leading to the diagnosis of AITL through comprehensive testing.
- The patient responded well to a mini-CHOP chemotherapy treatment, significantly improving his PAH and symptoms, reaching complete remission, highlighting the need to consider AITL in patients presenting with symptoms like PAH.
