Composite Angioimmunoblastic T-Cell Lymphoma and Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Presenting with Distributive Shock
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) are two subtypes of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The simultaneous occurrence of DLBCL and AITL in a composite lymphoma is very rare, and there are no established treatment regimens. We present the case of an 85-year-o...

Sumario: | Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) are two subtypes of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The simultaneous occurrence of DLBCL and AITL in a composite lymphoma is very rare, and there are no established treatment regimens. We present the case of an 85-year-old male admitted to the intensive care unit with distributive shock, lymphocytosis, and lymphadenopathy, who was subsequently diagnosed with composite AITL and DLBCL, and treated with brentuximab vedotin (BV) and rituximab. To our knowledge, this is the first case of composite lymphoma presenting with distributive shock and treated with BV and rituximab, with successful resolution of shock. |
