Article Synopsis
- HTLV-1 infections are rare in Italy and Europe, mostly affecting individuals from endemic areas, with HTLV-1-associated leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) being especially aggressive and hard to identify outside these regions.
- A case is presented involving an elderly Italian woman with no known risk factors who developed a rapidly fatal ATLL characterized by an abdominal lymphomatous mass and circulating leukemic cells.
- Genetic analyses showed multiple T-cell clones in both the tumor and blood, indicating tumor spread post-surgery, and phylogenetic studies revealed her HTLV-1 isolate as belonging to the cosmopolitan subtype A.
