Abstract

Gamma-delta T-cell lymphomas (GD-TCL) are rare and rapidly fatal neoplasms that are often associated with Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), a syndrome of fevers, cytopenias, and multiorgan failure that often leads to a rapid death. We report the first case demonstrating an association between GD-TCL, HLH, and cardiac amyloidosis, presenting a novel mechanism for rapid deterioration in these patients.

摘要

γδ T细胞淋巴瘤（GD-TCL）是一种罕见且致死率高的肿瘤，常与噬血细胞性淋巴组织细胞增生症（HLH）相关，HLH是一种以发热、血细胞减少和多器官功能衰竭为特征的综合征，常导致迅速死亡。我们报告了首例显示GD-TCL、HLH与心脏淀粉样变性之间存在关联的病例，为这些患者的快速病情恶化提出了一种新机制。
