Abstract EN
We describe the clinical and pathological characteristics of seven patients who were human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) carriers and had a pathological diagnosis of de novo diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
Interestingly, three of our cases showed positive expression of Epstein-Barr-virus, (EBV-) encoded RNA within the tumor cells indicating a possible interaction between these two viruses.
Furthermore, our three EBV-positive cases presented with similar clinical characteristics such as early clinical stage and low-risk indices.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case series describing the characteristics of HTLV-1-positive DLBCL patients.
The potential relationship between HTLV-1 and EBV should be further explored.
