Mature CD8 + T-cell clonal expansion in the oral cavity and digestive tract: a severe lymphoid malignancy that mimics Crohn's disease
Abstract
Mature digestive CD8+ T-cell lymphomas are rare entities of variable severity (from indolent to aggressive and destructive disease) [1-3]. Despite their severity, their prognosis may be favorable if adapted treatment is provided [1]. We report here an unusual case of severe mature CD8+ T-cell lymphoma with digestive infiltration that mimicked Crohn's disease, but with favorable outcome upon oral treatment with cyclophosphamide.
