BACKGROUND Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), an aggressive and rare disease that belongs to a heterogeneous group of mature T-cell lymphomas, develops rapidly and has a poor prognosis. Early detection and treatment are essential to improve patient cure and survival rates. Here, we report a rare case of PTCL with clinical presentation of noncirrhotic portal hypertension, which provides a basis for early vigilance of lymphomas in the future. CASE SUMMARY A 65-year-old Chinese woman was admitted to our hospital because of abdominal distension for 3 months and pitting oedema of both lower limbs for 2 months. Physical examinations and associated auxiliary examinations showed the presence of hepatosplenomegaly, and her hepatic venous pressure gradient was 10 mmHg. Immunohistochemical analysis of the liver biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of PTCL. The patient underwent combination therapy with dexamethasone, VP-16, and chidamide. Unfortunately, after 41 days of chemotherapy, the patient died of multiple organ failure. CONCLUSION PCTL accompanied by noncirrhotic portal hypertension is rarely reported. This case report discusses the diagnosis of a patient according to the literature.
