γδ-T Large Granular Lymphocyte Leukemia Associated Hemaphagocytic Syndrome Complicated with Multiple Organ Dysfunction

چکیده
Hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) usually presents as a complication of T/NK cell lymphoma. However, γδ-T large granular lymphocyte leukemia (LGL) associated HPS was rarely reported. Herein, we reported a case of γδ-T LGL associated HPS. A previously healthy 21-year-old Chinese man was admitted with high fever, severe pancytopenia and liver dysfunction. He developed disseminated intravascular coaggulation (DIC), shock, gastrointestinal bleeding, acute renal failure as well as central nervous system involvement. Bone marrow aspiration showed infiltration of large granular lymphocytes and hemophagocytic histiocytes. Immunophenotyping analysis by four-color flow cytometry showed the leukemic cells with large side scatter (SSC), CD3+, CD2+, CD8+, CD5−, CD7 partly+, CD4−, CD56−, CD57−. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of TCRβ and γ chain gene rearrangement confirmed TCRγδ T cell clone. Thus, a diagnosis of γδ-T LGL associated HPS was established. The patient worsened rapidly and died of multiple organ failure.

The γδ variant of T cell large granular lymphocyte leukemia is very similar to the common αβ type: report of two cases
The vast majority of cases of T cell large granular lymphocyte (T-LGL) leukemia have a CD3+, CD4-, CD8+ phenotype and express the alphabeta T cell receptor. Whether the rare gammadelta variant should be included in the same diagnostic category is currently unclear. Two well-characterized cases of gammadelta T-LGL leukemia were identified by our laboratory in 2007. These two cases and other repo...

A 33 year-old man, a renal transplant recipient, developed an aggressive T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia (LGL) that presented as a soft-tissue lesion, mimicking an abscess. The tumor cells showed cytological features of large granular lymphocytes, immunophenotypically characterized as mature T-cells expressing CD2, CD5, CD4, CD56, and TIA-1. About 80% of tumor cells were positive for...

BACKGROUND Early survival following severe injury has been improved with refined resuscitation strategies. Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) is common among this fragile group of patients leading to prolonged hospital stay and late mortality. MODS after trauma is widely attributed to dysregulated inflammation but the precise mechanics of this response and its influence on organ injury ...

Good Syndrome is an adult-onset combined immunodeficiency defined by hypogammaglobulinemia, low or absent number of B cells, T cell deficiency and thymic tumor. We have characterized CD8+ T cells from a patient with Good syndrome that presented with CD8+T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia (LGL). Characterization of peripheral blood CD8+ T cells revealed that majority of CD8+ T cells were...
