A case of angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy with transformation into a lymphoplasmacytoid malignant lymphoma is reported. The immunoperoridase method showed the polyclonality of the cells of the angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy and the monoclonality of the cell population of the malignant lymphoma.
