    This case report details a unique prolymphocytic leukaemia with mixed B- and T-lymphocyte markers. These cells exhibited chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL)-like functions but were radioresistant, presenting with hypersplenism.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Immunology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Prolymphocytic leukaemia (PLL) is a rare lymphoid malignancy.
    • Understanding the immunophenotypic and functional characteristics of leukaemic cells is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.

    Observation:

    • A case of prolymphocytic leukaemia presented with lymphocytes co-expressing B- and T-cell markers.
    • Simultaneous presence of sheep RBC receptors and surface immunoglobulins on individual cells was confirmed with endogenous origin.
    • Cells demonstrated functional similarities to chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), including colchicine ultrasensitivity and polystyrene bead column retention.

    Findings:

    • The leukaemic cells exhibited marked radioresistance in vitro, contrasting with typical CLL findings.
    • Clinical presentation was dominated by anemia and constitutional symptoms attributed to hypersplenism and massive splenomegaly.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential for mixed B- and T-cell lineage in prolymphocytic leukaemia.
    • The observed radioresistance and unique immunophenotype may have implications for therapeutic strategies in PLL.
    • Further research into such atypical leukaemic cell characteristics is warranted.
