Abstract
We report two patients, a 68-year-old man (Case 1) and a 66-year-old man (Case 2), with polyclonal gammopathy, lymphadenopathy, thrombocytopenia, and high platelet-associated IgG (PAIgG) level. We initially diagnosed them as having angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy with dysproteinemia (AILD). From confirmation of clear cells by careful observation and detection of rearrangement bands of T cell receptors by Southern blot hybridization analysis, we finally concluded that their diagnoses were compatible with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AILT). AILT with autoimmune thrombocytopenia (AIT) is very rare, and all the reported cases were Japanese ones.
