Positive antinuclear antibody in peripheral T cell lymphoma: a case report.
The association of malignant lymphoma with positive antinuclear antibody is uncommon, and their relationship is not clear. Here a 35-year-old man is presented who initially had a high titer of antinuclear antibody; later, peripheral T cell lymphoma was found. It is suggested than an unexplained high antinuclear antibody titer may warrant searching for a malignancy.
