Four hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma cases of Japanese patients
Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL), a rare type of γδ T-cell lymphoma, is characterized by hepatosplenomegaly and cytopenias. It is associated with immunodeficiency and its age of onset is reportedly between the 20s and 30s. We herein report 4 Japanese HSTCL cases. Three of them, including an eld...
