Precursor Natural Killer (NK) cell lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma is a rare entity defined clearly by WHO (2008 WHO classification). However, the pathobiology of this subset of neoplasms is not clearly defined. There is wide disparity in the literature regarding the nomenclature and diagnostic criteria used to diagnose and characterize acute leukemias of presumed NK cell origin. In the present article we report a case of Precursor NK cell lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma and review the cases reported after 2008 WHO classification came into vogue, as acute leukemias of NK cell origin.
前体自然杀伤(NK)细胞淋巴母细胞白血病/淋巴瘤是一种罕见的实体,世界卫生组织(2008年世界卫生组织分类)对其有明确的定义。然而,这类肿瘤的病理生物学尚未明确界定。关于用于诊断和表征假定为NK细胞起源的急性白血病的命名法和诊断标准,文献中存在很大差异。在本文中,我们报告了一例前体NK细胞淋巴母细胞白血病/淋巴瘤病例,并回顾了2008年世界卫生组织分类流行后报告的作为NK细胞起源急性白血病的病例。
