CD5-CD56+ T-cell receptor silent peripheral T-cell lymphomas are natural killer cell lymphomas.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are divided into B- and T-cell neoplasms. The existence and the clinical relevance of lymphomas derived from the third lymphocyte lineage, ie, natural killer (NK) cells are still controversial. NK cells are lymphocytes that mediate cytotoxicity without prior sensitization. NK cells also have phenotypic and genotypic characteristics: they express the NK-related antigen CD...
متن کاملPeripheral T-cell lymphomas.
The development of T cells from stem (progenitor) cells to effector cells results from a two-wave process of proliferation and differentiation. The cells of the first differentiation wave are the precursor T cells, and those of the second differentiation wave are peripheral T cells. In the first differentiation wave, resting/circulating naive antigen-reactive T lymphocytes are produced which di...
متن کاملImmunophenotyping of Nodal Peripheral T-cell Lymphomas and its Association with Epstein-Barr Virus
Background: Immunophenotyping in the rare group of nodal Peripheral T-cell Lymphomas (PTCL) exposes interesting features such as T-cell marker downregulation and paradoxically, the presence of reactive, clustered large-sized CD20 positive B-cells (B-cell proliferation). Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been suggested as a putative etiology in pathogenesis of B-cell lymphoma. We aimed to review the ...
متن کاملNatural killer-like T-cell lymphomas: aggressive lymphomas of T-large granular lymphocytes.
Natural killer (NK)-like T cells are major histocompatibility complex-unrestricted cytotoxic T cells that are surface CD3-positive, express NK-cell antigens, and rearrange their T-cell receptor. Most neoplasms arising from this T-cell subpopulation have been a chronic lymphoproliferative disease referred to as T-large granular lymphocyte (LGL) leukemia. Only 10 NK-like T-cell lymphomas have bee...
متن کاملNatural killer/T-cell lymphomas in pediatric and adolescent patients.
Natural killer/T-cell (NK/T-cell) lymphomas are rare in children and adolescents and consist predominantly of nasal-type extranodal NK/T-cell lymphomas. More than half of pediatric/adolescent patients with NK/T-cell lymphomas present with localized nasal/sinus involvement, but the disease may involve many organs. NK/T-cell lymphoma cells are cytotoxic and associated with necrosis and angioinvas...
