Lettre à l'éditeur
| Résumé : | To the Editor: In their article in the May 28 issue, Haynes et al.1 showed that circulating cells of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) had the surface phenotype of well-differentiated helper T cells. We have found a similar phenotype on circulating cells of another type of malignant non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This limits the usefulness of this phenotype as a diagnostic marker for the syndrome of CTCL. A 60-year-old man, reporting malaise, fever, and weight loss, presented with general lymphadenopathy without splenomegaly or skin rash. A slight thrombocytopenia (140,000 cells per cubic millimeter) and a circulating lymphoid population of 2318 cells per cubic. © 1981, Massachusetts Medical Society. All rights reserved. |
