Lymphocytosis: T-cell large granular lymphocyte leukemia.
A 50-year-old female with low-grade chronic anemia and no other medical problems was evaluated when her hemoglobin fell to 8.2 g/dL. She had no adenopathy or hepatosplenomegaly. Her white cell count was 7.7 109/L with a lymphocyte count of 6.2 109/L, platelets 498 109/L, and reticulocyte count that was normal. Serum electrophoresis and rheumatoid factor were negative and ANA was weakly positive...
متن کاملLarge granular lymphocyte leukemia.
Clonal diseases of large granular lymphocytes (LGLs) represent a spectrum of clinically rare lymphoproliferative malignancies arising from either mature T-cell (CD3(+)) or natural killer (NK)-cell (CD3(-)) lineages. The clinical behavior of these disorders ranges from indolent to very aggressive. Patients with symptomatic indolent T-cell or NK-cell LGL leukemia are usually treated with immunosu...
متن کاملT/NK large granular lymphocyte leukemia and coexisting monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis-like proliferations. An unrecognized and frequent association.
T-cell large granular lymphocyte leukemia (T-LGLL) is a T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder that has recently been associated with B-cell dyscrasias on a spectrum ranging from dysgammaglobulinemia to lymphoma. To investigate the relationship between clonal B-cell and LGLL lymphoproliferations, we systematically studied lymphocytes in 57 patients with T-LGLL or NK lymphocytosis using flow cytome...
متن کاملClonal drift demonstrates unexpected dynamics of the T-cell repertoire in T-large granular lymphocyte leukemia.
T-cell large granular lymphocyte leukemia (T-LGLL) is characterized by chronic lymphoproliferation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and is associated with lineage-restricted cytopenias. Introduction of T-cell receptor (TCR) variable β-chain (Vβ) monoclonal antibodies has facilitated identification and enumeration of clonal CTLs by flow cytometry. A highly skewed TCR Vβ repertoire identified by...
متن کاملA morphologic and immunologic study of the large granular lymphocyte in neutropenia with T lymphocytosis.
We report four patients with expansion of a unique population of lymphocytes that is consistently associated with neutropenia. Two patients also had rheumatoid arthritis and autoantibodies. The lymphocytes contained many cytoplasmic azurophilic granules, which possessed strong acid phosphatase activity. Multiple cytoplasmic parallel tubular arrays were observed ultrastructurally. These granular...
