Chronic lymphoproliferative disorder of natural killer cells-related neurolymphomatosis with severe autonomic dysfunction: a case report
We experienced a case of pathologically diagnosed neurolymphomatosis with autonomic dysfunction associated with CLPD-NK. In cases of subacute to chronic autonomic dysfunction, paraneoplastic neuropathy, amyloidosis, and autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy are considered; however neurolymphomatosis caused by CLPD-NK, an important cause of autonomic dysfunction, is not. In difficult to make diagnosis, aggressive nerve biopsy is required.
