[Angioimmunoblastic lymphoma in a 73-year-old woman].
We describe the case of a 73-year-old woman with constitutional disorder and pain in the lower limbs, leading to initial suspicion of multiple myeloma. During the diagnostic process, there were discrepancies between the clinical course and findings of complementary tests. After a fulminant clinical course for a few days, the patient died, and a postmortem diagnosis of angioimmunoblastic lymphoma was established. We review the main aspects of this highly infrequent disease, the pathogenesis of which remains uncertain.
