AI Article Synopsis
- T-cell large granular lymphocytic (T-LGL) leukaemia is often linked to autoimmune disorders, with about one-third of patients also having rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
- A notable portion of RA patients display clonal T-cell patterns, indicating a possible connection between the two conditions.
- This text discusses a specific case of a patient with RA who was evaluated for low white blood cell count and enlarged spleen, ultimately leading to a diagnosis of T-LGL leukaemia.
Article Abstract
T-cell large granular lymphocytic (T-LGL) leukaemia is frequently associated with an autoimmune phenomenon; approximately one-third of patients have rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Intriguingly, one-third of patients with rheumatoid arthritis exhibit clonal T-cell patterns. Here, we present a patient with RA undergoing evaluation for neutropenia and splenomegaly who was later diagnosed with T-LGL leukaemia.
