The case of a 57‐year‐old man with lymphadenopathy fever, splenomegaly, and polyclonal gammopathy is described. The difficult clinical course, the shortlived response to cytotoxic treatment, the frequent infections, the immunologic abnormality, and the histologic findings in lymph node biopsy and postmortem material justified our diagnosis of angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy with dysproteinemia, a new entity described recently.
