Lymphocytosis with Large Granular Cells: Correlation between T-Cell Receptor Rearrangement and CD57 Expression
نویسندگان
چکیده
The finding of large granular cells is relatively frequent when reviewing a blood smear for lymphocytosis (or any other reason). presence these opens the question as if they are part T-cell non-clonal reactive process or indicate clonal population (yet not necessarily neoplastic).

Lymphocytosis: T-cell large granular lymphocyte leukemia.
A 50-year-old female with low-grade chronic anemia and no other medical problems was evaluated when her hemoglobin fell to 8.2 g/dL. She had no adenopathy or hepatosplenomegaly. Her white cell count was 7.7 109/L with a lymphocyte count of 6.2 109/L, platelets 498 109/L, and reticulocyte count that was normal. Serum electrophoresis and rheumatoid factor were negative and ANA was weakly positive...
متن کاملRearrangement and expression of T-cell receptor genes in large granular lymphocyte leukemia.
Ten patients with large granular lymphocyte (LGL) leukemia were studied for rearrangement and expression of T cell receptor (TCR) genes. Eight patients with CD3+ LGL proliferation had unique TCR beta-gene rearrangements, supporting a clonal process. Each of five patients studied with CD3+ disease had evidence for expression of full-length TCR alpha-, beta-, and gamma-gene transcripts. In contra...
متن کاملLarge granular lymphocytosis associated with rheumatoid arthritis.
A 74 year old woman with rheumatoid arthritis, hepatosplenomegaly, neutropenia, and peripheral blood lymphocytosis is described. The lymphocytes had a large granular morphology and expressed a CD3+ CD8+ Leu7+ surface antigen phenotype. They did not have natural killer cell function. Southern analysis of the lymphocyte DNA using two restriction enzymes showed a rearranged pattern for the T cell ...
متن کاملLarge granular lymphocytosis after transplantation
Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD) represent a heterogeneous group of diseases that occur following transplantation. Large granular lymphocytic (LGL) lymphocytosis is one type of PTLD, ranging from reactive polyclonal self-limited expansion to oligo/monoclonal lymphocytosis or even to overt leukaemia. LGL lymphocytosis in transplant recipients may present as a relatively indol...
متن کاملPure red cell aplasia associated with malignant thymoma, myasthenia gravis, polyclonal large granular lymphocytosis and clonal thymic T cell expansion.
A case with the triad of pure red cell aplasia (PRCA), myasthenia gravis, and malignant thymoma is reported. There was a clonal proliferation of T cells within the thymoma, as demonstrated by a T cell antigen receptor (TCR) delta chain gene rearrangement. However, despite a large granular lymphocytosis, clonality could not be shown in the peripheral blood either before or after thymectomy. Ther...
