Clonal origin of a T cell lymphoproliferative malignancy.

چکیده
A woman with a T cell lymphoproliferative malignacy and heterozhgosity at the X chromosome-linked locus for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6PD) isoenzymes was studied to find the clonal origin of her circulating neoplastic T cells. The red blood cells, polymorphonuclear cells, whole mononuclear cells, and T cell-depleted mononuclear cells contained both A and B isoenzymes of G-6-PD. In contrast, the tumor cells, separated by using their capacity to form rosettes with sheep red blood cells, contained only the B isoenzyme of G-6-PD. This observation strongly suggests the monoclonality of this T cell malignancy.

Although aplastic anemia (AA) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) are separate entities with different management, distinction between the two can be difficult on morphological basis due to hypocellularity of bone marrow. MDS is one of the serious complications of AA. Karyotyping is definitive in the diagnosis of MDS. Better and robust investigations like 18F-Fluoro-deoxy-Glucose Posi...

Fulminant Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-driven clonal T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder (T-LPD) is rare and most patients are of Asian origin. The disease usually develops shortly after primary acute EBV infection and the mechanism remains poorly understood. Here we report such a rare case in a 28-year-old Caucasian female with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Immunophenotypic and molecular stu...

In patients with atypical Crohn's disease features, including severe oral ulcerations and resistance to standard treatment, the possibility of a mature clonal CD8+ T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder should be investigated. Clinicians should be aware of this differential diagnosis because CD8+ T-cell lymphoma prognosis can be remarkably favorable upon oral treatment with cyclophosphamide.

Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is the most common treatment related malignancy that occurs after solid organ transplantation (SOT). PTLD has extended from its initial description as an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-driven B-cell proliferation to include EBV-negative and non B-lineage cases. T-cell PTLD (T-PTLD) is rare in both adults and children. We report two cases of pediatri...

This study validates the usefulness of TCR gene rearrangements in the differentiation of ...
