Abstract

We report a retrospective study of 11 patients suffering from T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas preceded by immunological disorders including two chronic granulomatous diseases, one midline granuloma, four autoimmune hematologic disorders, one hypereosinophilic syndrome, two chronic lymphadenopathies, and one chronic angioedema. In the follow-up of these 11 patients, T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas were diagnosed. Even if we cannot exclude a fortuitous association, we feel that these conditions could constitute a 'prelymphomatous' stage.
