Pleural effusions and mediastinal masses are associated with certain types of hematologic malignancies. We report a 20-year-old man with a pleural effusion, a mediastinal mass, and a normal hemogram. The cytology of the pleural effusion initially suggested a lymphoma. However, an immunophenotypic study of the effusion revealed the following: TdT+, CD34+, CD19+, CD7(-), CD33(-), CD10(-), sIgM(-), and positive cytoplasmic mu heavy-chain immunoglobulins. After a bone marrow examination, we diagnosed the patient with pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This is the first reported case of a malignant pleural effusion and a mediastinal mass that preceded pre-B ALL. After standard therapy for ALL, the patient has been disease-free for 7 years.
胸腔积液和纵隔肿块与某些类型的血液系统恶性肿瘤有关。我们报告了一名20岁男性,有胸腔积液、纵隔肿块,但血常规正常。胸腔积液的细胞学检查最初提示为淋巴瘤。然而,对积液的免疫表型研究显示如下:末端脱氧核苷酸转移酶(TdT)阳性、CD34阳性、CD19阳性、CD7阴性、CD33阴性、CD10阴性、表面免疫球蛋白M(sIgM)阴性,以及胞质μ重链免疫球蛋白阳性。经骨髓检查后,我们诊断该患者为前B细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)。这是首例报道的前B细胞ALL之前出现恶性胸腔积液和纵隔肿块的病例。经过ALL的标准治疗后,该患者已无病生存7年。
