Diagnosis of large granular lymphocytic leukemia in a patient previously treated for acute myeloblastic leukemia

Abstract

Large granular lymphocytic (LGL) leukemia is a lymphoproliferative disease characterized by the clonal expansion of cytotoxic T or natural killer cells. We report on a patient diagnosed with T-cell LGL leukemia two years after the achievement of hematologic remission for acute myeloblastic leukemia.
