Angioimmunoblastic T-Cell Lymphoma in a Patient with Klinefelter Syndrome

BACKGROUND Although patients with Klinefelter syndrome have elevated risk and incidence rates for several solid cancers, reports on the incidence of hematological malignancies have been equivocal. CASE REPORT We report a patient diagnosed with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma in whom Klinefelter syndrome was newly detected.

Successful Pulmonary Endarterectomy in a Patient with Klinefelter Syndrome

Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is a frequent genetic disorder due to one or more supernumerary X chromosomes.

This paper describes a 37-year-old male patient with KS referred to our tertiary center with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, and who was successfully tr...

Turner Syndrome: A Unique Mosaic Case with 45,X/47,XX,+21/46,XX Cell Lines

We report an extremely rare case of Turner syndrome mosaicism in a 30-year-old woman. At least 100 metaphases were observed and analyzed through GTG banding with over 550 band resolutions observed. G-banded chromosome analysis revealed a mosaic female karyotype involving 3 different cell lines. One cell line (90% of the analyzed metaphases) presented monosomy X, while 6% of the cells showed tri...
