Hairy Projections on Non Hairy Cells- A Case Report
Adult T-Cell Leukaemia/Lymphoma (ATLL) is a mature T-cell neoplasm. It is caused by human retrovirus Human T-cell Lymphotropic Virus Type 1(HTLV-1). The neoplastic cells after monoclonal integration begin to express T-cell associated antigens namely CD2, CD3 and CD5. These leukaemic cells are high...

| description | Adult T-Cell Leukaemia/Lymphoma (ATLL) is a mature T-cell neoplasm. It is caused by human retrovirus Human T-cell Lymphotropic
Virus Type 1(HTLV-1). The neoplastic cells after monoclonal integration begin to express T-cell associated antigens namely CD2,
CD3 and CD5. These leukaemic cells are highly pleomorphic in light microscopic appearance and also they have a highly variable
clinical presentation ranging from acute to lymphomatous to chronic to smouldering. There is a chance of missed or miss diagnosis
due to their morphological and clinical heterogeneity and specialised test like immunophenotyping or flow cytometry is essential
for exact categorisation. Authors hereby, report a case of 45-year-old female patient suffering from ATLL whose peripheral smear
showed leukaemic cells with unusual hairy projections resembling hairy cell leukaemia posing diagnostic dilemma. |
