Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) can present with rare angioedema and lung infiltrates. This case suggests angioedema in PTCL may occur independently of complement abnormalities.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Immunology
- Pulmonology
Background:
- Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is a diverse group of non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
- Pulmonary involvement is common in PTCL, occurring in up to 40% of patients.
- Angioedema is a rare complication, typically associated with B-cell malignancies and complement depletion.
