Abstract EN
Nonhepatosplenic/noncutaneous γδ peripheral T-cell lymphoma (NHNCγδ PTCL) represents a miscellaneous group of unrelated T-cell lymphomas of which only isolated cases have been reported.
We describe two cases of transformation from T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma to NHNCγδ PTCL.
Transformation into more aggressive disease is a rare event in T-cell lineage-derived hematologic malignancies compared to B-cell neoplasms.
Nevertheless, both of our cases involved relapse as PTCL manifested with skin involvement and an overt shift from blastic morphology to large granular leukemia-like mature T cells.
Among other notable molecular characteristics, expression of immature markers such as TdT was lost in both cases.
Based on cytogenetics, phenotype, and morphology, both patients represent a novel phenomenon of clonal transformation from T-ALL to PTCL which has rarely been reported in the literature.
Such transformation may carry important diagnostic and biological implications.
