T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL) is a rare mature T-cell lymphoma that is usually associated with poor prognosis and short overall survival. We present a case of a 61-year-old woman presenting with T-PLL and the leukemic cells harboring (-breakpoint cluster region; -ABL protooncogene 1) fusion transcripts as the result of a variant of t(9;22)(q34;q11) called Philadelphia translocation: t(9;22;18)(q34;q11;q21). Sequencing revealed a rare transcript with an exon 6 breakpoint corresponding to e6a2 transcripts, which has thus far been reported in only 26 cases of leukemias.

Plasmacytoid blast dendritic cell neoplasm is a rare subtype of acute leukaemia that represents less than 1% of haematologic neoplasms. It is characterised by skin involvement and leukaemic dissemination in the rest of the body. The immunophenotype is represented by the expression of CD4, CD56 and CD123.

Central nervous system (CNS) involvement in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is rare, and spinal cord infiltration as a presenting manifestation has only rarely been described. We present the case of a 65-year-old man with CLL, initially diagnosed at the age of 54, who had not received prior treatment. He presented with a six-week history of thoracic and epigastric pressure.
