Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL) is a rare, aggressive mature T-cell malignancy.
  • It predominantly affects elderly individuals and is characterized by a rapid clinical course.

Observation:

  • A 68-year-old male presented with constitutional symptoms including weakness and weight loss.
  • Clinical findings included pallor, lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, and a maculopapular rash.
  • Laboratory results revealed marked leukocytosis, anemia, thrombocytopenia, and 60% prolymphocytes in peripheral blood.

Findings:

  • Bone marrow examination showed hypercellularity with a significant excess of prolymphocytes.
  • Flow cytometry confirmed T-cell lineage with positivity for CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, and CD7.

Implications:
