Hepatosplenic Alpha-Beta T-Cell Lymphoma: A Challenging Diagnostic Entity.

Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL) is rare and clinically very aggressive T-cell lymphoma. The majority of cases harbor γδ T-cell receptors (TCRs); however, in some even rarer cases, tumor cells harbor αβ TCR. Recent studies suggest that αβ cases may have distinct morphological characteristics and demonstrate an even more aggressive course.
