Summary

This study details a case of early-stage angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy with dysproteinemia (AILD) presenting with skin lesions. Early treatment with corticosteroids induced remission, highlighting the potential to prevent progression to AILD-type lymphoma.

Background:

Angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy with dysproteinemia (AILD) is an aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Cutaneous involvement is observed in some AILD cases, but early prelymphomatous stages are less understood.
Distinguishing prelymphomatous AILD from established lymphoma is crucial for appropriate management.
