Summary

The sub-committee on lymphoproliferative disorders of the Belgian Hematological Society has met several times to prepare guidelines on the management of patients with peripheral T-cell lymphomas. Each panellist’s expert provided interpretation of the evidence, based on literature review and personal experience. The available evidence was systematically discussed prior to formulating recommendations. A systematic approach to obtain consensus of expert opinion was used. After each meeting, the draft guideline was circulated to all experts for comment and approval. The present guidelines focus on general management of peripheral T-cell lymphomas with special emphasis on more specific disease-adapted strategies.

Summary

A 16-year-old Moroccan woman was referred to our centre because of bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy, high fever and weight loss. A malignant lymphoma was suspected in the lymph node biopsy. Histopathologic review of the lymph node biopsy showed extensive necrosis and nuclear debris with no viable remaining cells. A new lymph node biopsy was performed and the diagnosis of histiocytic necrotising lymphadenitis (Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease) was made. This is a rare, benign and self-limiting disease that mainly affects young women.
