Adult T-Cell Leukemia/Lymphoma with CLL-Like Morphology—A Case Report

Adult T-cell Leukemia/Lymphoma (ATL) is rarely seen in the U.S. and Europe, usually limited to African Americans from the southeastern U.S. and immigrants from HTLV-1 endemic areas. Reaching an accurate and timely diagnosis of ATL in such nonendemic areas can be challenging, owing to limited exposur...

description Adult T-cell Leukemia/Lymphoma (ATL) is rarely seen in the U.S. and Europe, usually limited to African Americans from the southeastern U.S. and immigrants from HTLV-1 endemic areas. Reaching an accurate and timely diagnosis of ATL in such nonendemic areas can be challenging, owing to limited exposure, diverse manifestations, and varying cell morphology. We present a case of chronic adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia- (CLL-) like morphology that remained untreated for ten years and then developed treatment refractory acute ATL crisis.
