Abstract:
Large granular lymphocytic (LGL) leukemia is a rare chronic lymphoproliferative disorder that can arise from T- or natural killer-cell lineages. It is an indolent disease that typically occurs in the sixth decade of life. Most cases of T-cell LGL leukemia (T-LGL) are associated with autoimmune disorders. Patients with T-LGL are generally asymptomatic; however, they can present with symptoms related to neutropenia, infections, and autoimmune disorders. Here, we report two cases of T-LGL in which the patients presented with liver dysfunction.

Disorders of Leukocytes
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...
Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
