Immune deficiency with polymorphic reticulosis.
A case of fatal polymorphic reticulosis, currently considered to be a peripheral T cell lymphoma, that was initially seen as a nasolabial swelling with a left lower lobe pulmonary nodule in a 40-year-old woman is reported. At autopsy, it was found to be associated with disseminated cryptococcosis and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia associated with secondary severe immunodeficiency of unknown origin.
