We present the case of a 67-year-old woman who suffered recurrent episodes of angioedema of the face and larynx. After thorough biochemical investigations, an acquired deficiency of C1-INH was suspected. To evaluate a potential underlying malignancy, a whole-body FDG-PET/CT was performed and showed solely a marked splenomegaly pointing towards a splenic marginal zone lymphoma, which was confirmed by pathological examination.With this case, we discuss the pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of recurrent acquired angioedema attacks as the first presentation of an underlying lymphoproliferative disease.
