Three cases of peripheral T-cell lymphocytosis associated with thymoma are described. Each patient had a malignant, predominantly lymphocytic thymoma with resolution of lymphocytosis upon treatment of the epithelial neoplasm. These findings suggest that lymphocytosis complicating thymoma is a paraneoplastic phenomenon and is not part of the neoplastic process.
本文描述了3例与胸腺瘤相关的外周T细胞淋巴细胞增多症病例。每位患者均患有恶性的、以淋巴细胞为主的胸腺瘤,上皮性肿瘤经治疗后淋巴细胞增多症得以缓解。这些发现提示,胸腺瘤合并的淋巴细胞增多症是一种副肿瘤现象,而非肿瘤形成过程的一部分。
