Abstract
|
|
|
Prolymphocytic leukemia(PLL), first described by Galton and colleagues in 1974, is a distinct clinicopathologic variant of chronic lymphocytic leukemia(CLL). PLL is characterized by marked splenomegaly, high WBC count, and minimal lymph node
enlargement. About 20 per cent of PLL cases are of the T cell type and approximately 75 per cent of T-cell PLL cases have cells bearing the CD4 marker. We report a case of T-cell PLL with a helper cell phenotype in a 54-year-old male patient with
a
leukocyte count of 185×10E9/L.
