Core Tip

Core tip: Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is an uncommon subtype of peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Moreover, the patient was diagnosed with pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) associated with AITL. Although AITL is often accompanied by various immunological and hematological diseases, PRCA with AITL is extremely rare.
