ABSTRACT
Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is a systemic lymphoproliferative disorder that presents with profound immune dysfunction and immunodeficiency. As in many other immunodeficiencies, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) associated B-cell lymphoid proliferation can occur in AITL but few cases of EBV-positive B-cell lymphoma have been reported in patients with preexisting AITL. We report a case of AITL in which EBV-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) developed 13 months after the initial diagnosis of AITL. Although the exact mechanisms remain unclear, Epstein-Barr virus may have played a role in the pathogenesis of the secondary DLBCL
