This case report details T-cell prolymphocytic leukaemia (T-PLL) presenting solely in the lungs. Isolated pulmonary involvement can signify disease progression, necessitating prompt medical evaluation and treatment.
Area of Science:
- Hematology
- Oncology
- Pulmonology
Background:
- T-cell prolymphocytic leukaemia (T-PLL) is a rare and aggressive hematologic malignancy.
- Pulmonary manifestations are uncommon in T-PLL, making diagnosis challenging.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a unique case of T-PLL with isolated lung involvement.
- To emphasize the significance of pulmonary findings in T-PLL progression.
Main Methods:
- Case study of a T-PLL patient with exclusive lung infiltration.
- Diagnosis confirmed via video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) biopsy.
Main Results:
- The patient presented with isolated pulmonary lesions.
- Histopathological analysis of the lung biopsy confirmed T-PLL infiltration.
Conclusions:
- Isolated lung infiltration in T-PLL can indicate advanced disease.
- Early detection and intervention are crucial for managing T-PLL with pulmonary spread.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis II
Here is a detailed explanation of its pathophysiology:
Transmission: The process begins when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis. These are typically released into the air when an individual with pulmonary or...
Pulmonary Tuberculosis III
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:
Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
