TI  - Asymptomatic lymphoma associated with elevation of immunoglobulin E.
PG  - 27-8
AB  - BACKGROUND: Elevation of immunoglobulin E (IgE) is rarely detected in patients 
      with underlying malignancy. There has been only one report of such a finding in a 
      patient with a T cell lymphoma and none to our knowledge in association with a 
      B-cell lymphoma. OBJECTIVE: To report a patient with elevation of IgE associated 
      with a B-cell lineage lymphoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Case report and review of 
      literature. RESULTS: A 73-year-old woman was found to have elevated IgE (11,766 
      IU/mL) in a routine evaluation for rhinitis. No underlying allergic diathesis or 
      disease associated with IgE elevation was noted. Because of an abnormal 
      lymphocyte profile, an extensive malignancy evaluation was performed which 
      revealed a B-cell lymphoma. CONCLUSION: B-cell lineage lymphoma can be associated 
      with elevated of IgE and should be included in the differential diagnosis in a 
      patient presenting with this finding.
