Abstract:
We herein report a case of the leukemic phase of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)-type lymphoma that abruptly developed 12 months after the initial diagnosis of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), in which retrospective immunohistochemistry and next-generation sequencing (NGS) revealed that (1) lymphoma with a CLL-type immunophenotype underlay the development of secondary AIHA, (2) complete loss of TP53 function by double-hit TP53 abnormalities (TP53 deletion and mutation) was secondarily acquired, and (3) complete loss of TP53 function could have contributed to clinical manifestation of transformed lymphoma. Immunohistochemistry for LEF1 and an NGS analysis may help physicians precisely diagnose CLL-type lymphoproliferation-associated AIHA.

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...
B Cell Activation and Differentiation
When naive B cells encounter a specific antigen that can bind to the B cell receptor (BCR) on their surface, they undergo sensitization to respond to the antigen's presence. Sensitization begins with...
