Cutaneous involvement in angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma

Indian J Dermatol. 2010 Jul-Sep;55(3):279-80. doi: 10.4103/0019-5154.70704.

Abstract

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is an aggressive non-Hodgkin's nodal peripheral T-cell lymphoma characterized by general lymphadenopathy, night sweats, fever, hepatosplenomegaly, polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia, and cutaneous involvement. We present a rare case of AITL cutaneous involvement mimicking toxic erythema recurring with AITL relapse and suggesting a precursor of disease progression.

Keywords: Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma; cutaneous involvement.
