A Case of Cutaneous Involvement in T Lymphoblastic Lymphoma Leukemia
Background:
Cutaneous involvement is more prevalent in B lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LBL) than T lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL). The authors describe a rare case of cutaneous involvement in a 25-year-old woman with T lymphoblastic lymphoma leukemia.
Methods:
Hematologic investigation, bone marrow aspirate and biopsy, cytogenetic analysis and cutaneous lesion biopsy were performed.
Results:
The patient achieved complete remission after induction therapy with the regimen of CHOEP + P, then received another CHOEP + P regimen. Unfortunately, the patient refused further treatment and was lost to follow-up.
Conclusions:
Skin biopsy, immunohistochemistry of the skin lesions, bone marrow aspirate, and biopsy are important to confirm a diagnosis of T-LBL. Cutaneous involvement in T-LBL as a prognostic factor needs further studies.

Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune...
