Abstract
Tumour necrosis factor inhibitors have revolutionised the management of Crohn's disease, but reports of a possible association between concomitant infliximab and immunomodulator therapy and hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (a rare form of aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma) have emerged. We describe the first case in Australia of hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma in a patient who had been treated with infliximab and immunomodulators for Crohn's disease.Entities:
