CC chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4), which is involved in leukocyte migration, is expressed in most tumor cells in patients with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL).
Here we report the case of a 78-year-old man diagnosed with lymphoma-type ATLL expressing CCR4. The patient was administered two cycles of lenalidomide but died because of sepsis 5 months after the initial diagnosis. Autopsy revealed ATLL cells at several sites. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that these ATLL cells had reduced CCR4 expression.
The present case suggests that treatment should be carefully determined in ATLL with reference to a history of lenalidomide use and CCR4 expression.
CC趋化因子受体4(CCR4)参与白细胞迁移,在成人T细胞白血病/淋巴瘤(ATLL)患者的大多数肿瘤细胞中表达。
在此,我们报告一例78岁男性淋巴瘤型ATLL患者,其肿瘤细胞表达CCR4。该患者接受了两个周期的来那度胺治疗,但在初诊5个月后因败血症死亡。尸检发现多个部位存在ATLL细胞。免疫组化分析显示,这些ATLL细胞的CCR4表达降低。
本病例提示,对于ATLL患者,应参考来那度胺使用史和CCR4表达情况谨慎确定治疗方案。
