Abstract:
Kimura's disease (KD) is a rare chronic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology prevalent in middle-aged Asian males. Kimura's disease transforming to T-cell lymphoma or coexisting with T-cell lymphoma have not been reported in the scientific literature except two cases of Kimura's disease resembling peripheral T-cell lymphoma morphologically. There was no corresponding entity included in the current WHO classification (5th ed., 2022). It might be a new variant of peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Here, we present the first reported case of coexisting KD and indolent peripheral T-cell lymphoma in a 55-year-old Chinese man.

Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
