Abstract

A 21-year-old man with lymphadenopathy and Coombs-positive hemolytic anemia had been treated with steroid maintenance therapy. He developed nephrotic syndrome with size increase of lymphadenopathy. Lymph node examination disclosed angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL). Light microscopy of a renal biopsy specimen showed typical features of membranous nephropathy (MN), such as bubbling appearance and spike formation. Immunofluorescence studies revealed no significant deposition of immunoglobulins. Electron microscopy showed sparse degenerative materials on the epithelial side of the glomerular basement membranes, with intervening spikes. These unique histological findings suggested secondary MN. High-dose steroid therapy followed by six courses of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone (CHOP) therapy improved his symptoms. One-year follow-up revealed the patient in good health without any signs of relapse. Glomerular manifestations have rarely been reported in association with AITL. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of nephrotic syndrome due to MN associated with AITL.

Hodgkin Lymphom: BrECADD-Regime übertrifft die Erwartungen

05.06.2024 ASCO 2024 Kongressbericht

Das Kombinationsregime BrECADD mit Brentuximab vedotin ermöglichte in der Studie HD21 beim fortgeschrittenen klassischen Hodgkin-Lymphom eine unerwartet hohe progressionsfreie Überlebensrate von 94,3% nach vier Jahren. Gleichzeitig war das Regime besser tolerabel als der bisherige Standard eBEACOPP.

Antikörper-Drug-Konjugat verdoppelt PFS bei Multiplem Myelom

05.06.2024 ASCO 2024 Nachrichten

Zwei Phase-3-Studien deuten auf erhebliche Vorteile des Antikörper-Wirkstoff-Konjugats Belantamab-Mafodotin bei vorbehandelten Personen mit Multiplem Myelom: Im Vergleich mit einer Standard-Tripeltherapie wurde das progressionsfreie Überleben teilweise mehr als verdoppelt.

Neuer TKI gegen CML: Höhere Wirksamkeit, seltener Nebenwirkungen

05.06.2024 Chronische myeloische Leukämie Nachrichten

Der Tyrosinkinasehemmer (TKI) Asciminib ist älteren Vertretern dieser Gruppe bei CML offenbar überlegen: Personen mit frisch diagnostizierter CML entwickelten damit in einer Phase-3-Studie häufiger eine gut molekulare Response, aber seltener ernste Nebenwirkungen.

Hereditäres Angioödem: Tablette könnte Akuttherapie erleichtern
