| Popis: | Angioedema is a rare but may be serious (laryngeal edema). This is a recurrent edema, subcutaneous and/or submucosal, whose cause is a hereditary or acquired deficiency in C1 inhibiteur (C1 inhibitor fraction of complement). We present the case of a 56 years old patient who showed recurrent episodes of swelling of the face and hands in association with chronic lymphocytic leukemia stage A. The exploration of the complement pathway has allowed retaining the diagnosis of acquired angioedema type I. The association of angioedema and lymphoproliferative syndrome is rare; we present this interesting case to discuss it from the literature data. |
