title: [Rheumatic symptoms in a malignant disease].
abstract: We report a case of a 75 year old women with increasing deterioration of her general condition. We found a massive lymphadenopathy, an impressive exanthem and an elevation in leukocytes. After conducting a lymphnodebiopsy the diagnosis of an angioimmunoblastic T-Cell-Lymphoma was confirmed. Even with chemotherapy containing antracycline the prognosis of this disease is very poor. However this therapy couldn't be initiated because of the weak condition of the patient. She died a few days after hospitalisation.
