2. T cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma/Leukemia Characteristics
Patients tend to be young adults/adolescents
50-80% present with mediastinal mass (pre B -rarely)
Peripheral blood involvement >30% at presentation
Rapidly progressive w/ dissemination to BM & CSF. Poor prognosis
Flow cytometry - excellent - since immature T cell phenotype (while a normal cellular phenotype) is not expected in the sample most commonly submitted (LN, PBL, CSF, pleural fluid). Difficult if thymus is specimen.
