Abstract

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is a distinct peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) subtype, accounting for 15‑20% of PTCL and 2% of all non‑Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), with a poor prognosis. In the present study, we describe a 76-year-old patient with AITL who failed to respond to conventional chemotherapy but responded to bortezomib-based treatment and demonstrated persistent clinical improvement at the 18-month follow-up. These data suggest that bortezomib-based treatment may be a reliable, safe and effective alternative for treating relapsed/refractory AITL.
