Abstract:
We describe a unique case of a patient with a three-year history of idiopathic CD4(+) T cell lymphopenia (HIV negative) who presented with stage IV diffuse large cell non Hodgkin's lymphoma with t(8;22). Despite the severe lymphopenia, the patient tolerated intensive chemotherapy well and at 18 months, remains in complete remission.
