Angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy with associated selective myeloid hypoplasia.
Angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy is a disease characterized systemic symptoms, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly and polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia. Hematologic abnormalities are common, especially anemia, which is often Coombs positive, and lymphocytopenia. This report cites a case of angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy associated with selective hypoplasia of the myeloid line and normal maturation of all other marrow-derived cell lines. Possible relationships of this finding to the immunologic abnormalities associated with angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy are discussed.
