T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL) is a rare mature post-thymic T-cell malignancy with infiltration to the blood, bone marrow, lymph node, liver, spleen and skin; this disease has a poor prognosis and an aggressive clinical course. We report here on a case of CD56+ T-PLL that was diagnosed by hematological examination, immunophenotyping and molecular studies including determining the TCL1 expression by using reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and direct sequencing of the RT-PCR product.
Keywords T-cell Prolymphocytic Leukemia, TCL1, CD56
