T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia (T-LGLL) is a rare lymphoproliferative neoplasm of cytotoxic T cells and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common form of kidney cancer, but T-LGLL associated with RCC has never been reported.
A 58-year-old Chinese male presented with general fatigue and intermittent-remittent fever, accompanied by palpitations and dizziness.
Radical nephrectomy was performed, and a diagnosis of clear cell carcinoma (T1N0M0, I phase) was made based on the postoperative pathology findings. With typical cellular morphology, immunophenotype and T-cell receptor gene rearrangement, a diagnosis of T-LGLL was established.
After radical nephrectomy, this patient remained asymptomatic without any treatment.
To date, the patient is generally in good condition, without complaints of discomfort.
The coexistence of these 2 entities may not be coincidental, and it is likely that they may share a common pathogenic pathway related to immune dysregulation.
T细胞大颗粒淋巴细胞白血病(T-LGLL)是一种罕见的细胞毒性T细胞淋巴增殖性肿瘤,肾细胞癌(RCC)是最常见的肾癌形式,但从未有过T-LGLL与RCC相关的报道。
一名58岁中国男性,出现全身乏力和间歇性发热,伴有心悸和头晕。
进行了根治性肾切除术,根据术后病理结果诊断为透明细胞癌(T1N0M0,I期)。结合典型的细胞形态、免疫表型和T细胞受体基因重排,确诊为T-LGLL。
根治性肾切除术后,该患者未接受任何治疗,无症状。
迄今为止,患者总体状况良好,无不适主诉。
这两种疾病的共存可能并非巧合,它们可能共享与免疫失调相关的共同致病途径。
