Sumario:This case report is aimed to investigate the effects of Korean medicine therapy (KMT) alone including oral herbal medicine on treating a patient with atypical peripheral CD4 T cell lymphoma. The oral medicine used is Hyunamdan made of heat-processed ginseng and Hangamdan S. An 87-year-old man who was diagnosed as having atypical peripheral CD4 T cell lymphoma on November 30, 2015 was treated with KMT from December 23, 2015 until October 22, 2016. The effectiveness of therapies was evaluated with PET-CT scan as well as the change of the main sign of lymphoma. The sizes of the right axillar and right external iliac lymph nodes decreased. These results suggest that KMT can be an effective method to treat atypical peripheral CD4 T cell lymphoma.
