“…Pulmonary involvement has also been described as part of AILD. This has been described in recent years [3] and may be dramatic with the appearance of pleural effusions and pulmonary infiltrates which may result in respiratory insufficiency. Occasional infiltration into the kidneys, even without malignant transformation, may result in renal failure and be a terminal event.…”

Angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy (AILD) is a rare disorder characterized by lymphadenopathy, constitutional symptoms, skin rashes, and a variety of hematologic disorders. Its occurrence in the colon is rare. Late in the disease, immunosuppression occurs, and there is an increased risk of malignant transformation. We present a case of AILD of the colon with eventual transformation into malignant lymphoma.

“…Whereas the pulmonary lesions of Hodgkin's disease are often nodular, those of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas tend to involve the lungs in a diffuse fashion, suggesting that they follow lymphatic pathways. Under this heading, peripheral T-cell lymphomas, 99 angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy, 100,101 cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome), 102 malignant histiocytosis, 103,104 leukemic infiltrates, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia, [105][106][107] extramedullary hematopoiesis, 108 Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, 109 and intravascular lymphomatosis 110,111 have all been described as involving the lung.…”

Lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia (LIP) is a clinicopathologic term that relates histologically to a dense interstitial infiltrate of mainly T cells, plasma cells, and histiocytes, with germinal centers often identified. Its precise etiology is unknown, but there are strong clinical associations with several autoimmune disorders, as well as both congenital and acquired immunodeficiency syndromes. It may overlap histologically with both extrinsic allergic alveolitis and nonspecific interstitial pneumonia, and therefore close clinical/radiological association is essential for diagnosis. LIP also overlaps clinically and histologically with follicular bronchitis/bronchiolitis, the latter showing reactive lymphoid hyperplasia with a peribronchiolar distribution predominantly comprising lymphoid follicles. LIP may also be histologically indistinguishable from nodular lymphoid hyperplasia and lymphomas arising from mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) but can usually be differentiated via analysis of clinical and imaging data plus assessment of immunohistochemistry and gene rearrangement studies. Other entities include lymphomatoid granulomatosis, intravascular lymphomatosis, Castleman's disease, primary pleural lymphomas, primary effusion lymphomas, plasmacytomas, and secondary involvement by lymphoma, but these should all be readily distinguishable from lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia if all clinical, imaging, and histological data are apparent.

Angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy with dysproteinemia: Report of the first case in childhood evolving toward spontaneous remission

This is the first known report of a case of angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy, with dysproteinemia (AILD) in childhood which evolved toward a spontaneous remission. The disease had an acute onset with generalized lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, high-grade fever and polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia. The lymph nodes met all of the histologic criteria required for diagnosis as established by Frizzera et al. It is emphasized that AILD should be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis of lymphadenopathy in childhood.

Angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy: Pleural-pulmonary disease

Abstract: A 48-year-old female with angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy is described. Her disease was complicated by pleuritic chest pain, an exudative pleural effusion and pulmonary infiltrates attributable to underlying pleural-pulmonary angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy.
