Abstract

Lymphoproliferation (LP) refers to the excessive proliferation of lymphocytes, causing nodal and extranodal infiltration triggered by infection, malignancy, and inflammation. LP in patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEI) could have different connotations based on the type of IEI. When LP is the presenting complaint, the diagnosis of IEI is often delayed. In this article, we discuss LP as the key manifestation in patients with IEI and present a few clinical cases highlighting the different patterns of LP in IEI.
