Pleuropneumonia Revealing Angioimmunoblastic T-cell Lymphoma

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is a rare form of lymphoma that presents with a wide range of symptoms, including multiple lymphadenopathies, systemic symptoms, splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, and skin rashes. Due to its atypical presentation, diagnosis can be delayed, and confirmation relies on lymph node biopsy. While no specific risk factors or etiological agents have been identified, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, such as polychemotherapy, can lead to a favorable prognosis. This case report describes an instance of AITL diagnosed following the onset of pleuropneumopathy, emphasizing the importance of considering lymphoma in the differential diagnosis of pleuropulmonary conditions.

Abstract

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is a rare form of lymphoma that presents with a wide range of symptoms, including multiple lymphadenopathies, systemic symptoms, splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, and skin rashes. Due to its atypical presentation, diagnosis can be delayed, and confirmation relies on lymph node biopsy. While no specific risk factors or etiological agents have been identified, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, such as polychemotherapy, can lead to a favorable prognosis. This case report describes an instance of AITL diagnosed following the onset of pleuropneumopathy, emphasizing the importance of considering lymphoma in the differential diagnosis of pleuropulmonary conditions.
