Granjo E, Lima M, Correia T, Lisboa C, MagalhĂŁes C, Cunha N, Teixeira MA, QueirĂłs ML, Candeias J, Matutes E. Department of Clinical Haematology, Hospital Geral de SĂŁo JoĂŁo, Porto, Portugal. npp46740@mail.telepac.pt Abstract We report a case of CD8(+)/V beta 5.1(+) T-cell large granular lymphocyte leukemia (T-LGL leukemia) presenting with mild lymphocytosis, severe autoimmune neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, polyarthritis and recurrent infections with a chronic disease course. Immunophenotyping showed an expansion of CD3(+)/TCR alpha beta(+)/CD8(+bright)/CD11c(+)/CD57(-)/CD56(-) large granular lymphocytes with expression of the TCR-V beta 5.1 family. Southern blot analysis revealed a clonal rearrangement of the TCR beta-chain gene. Hematopoietic growth factors, high dose intravenous immunoglobulin and corticosteroids were of limited therapeutic benefit to correct the cytopenias. During the disease course, the patient developed a severe cutaneous leg ulcer and bilateral vascular mammary skin lesions. Treatment with 2-deoxycoformycin resulted in both clinical and hematological complete responses, including the resolution of vascular skin lesions. Combined immuno-staining with relevant T-cell associated and anti-TCR-V beta monoclonal antibodies proved to be a sensitive method to assess the therapeutic effect of 2-deoxycoformicin and to evaluate the residual disease.
