T-cell large granular lymphocytic (T-LGL) leukaemia is frequently associated with an autoimmune phenomenon; approximately one-third of patients have rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Intriguingly, one-third of patients with rheumatoid arthritis exhibit clonal T-cell patterns. Here, we present a patient with RA undergoing evaluation for neutropenia and splenomegaly who was later diagnosed with T-LGL leukaemia.
T 细胞大颗粒淋巴细胞(T-LGL)白血病常与自身免疫现象有关;约三分之一的患者患有类风湿关节炎(RA)。有趣的是,三分之一的类风湿关节炎患者表现出克隆性 T 细胞模式。在这里,我们介绍了一位患有 RA 的患者,该患者因中性粒细胞减少和脾肿大接受评估,随后被诊断为 T-LGL 白血病。
