Abstrakt: Numerous neoplastic, viral, hematological, or metabolic conditions that affect the bone marrow might result in secondary myelofibrosis. The bone marrow aspirate results in a dry tap and bone marrow biopsy reveals significant fibrosis replacing the normal hematopoietic cells. This is an intriguing example where a bone marrow aspirate showed a dry tap, and subsequent examination revealed a peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL). PTCLs are an aggressive group of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. They often present as peripheral lymphadenopathy. The unique presentation of this case is explored in this article.
