Angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy is a disease characterized by systemic symptoms, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly and polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia. Hematologic abnormalities are common, especially anemia, which is often Coombs positive, and lymphocytopenia. This report cites a case of angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy associated with selective hypoplasia of the myeloid line and normal maturation of all other marrow‐derived cell lines. Possible relationships of this finding to the immunologic abnormalities associated with angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy are discussed.
