Lymphoproliferative disorder of natural killer cells is a heterogeneous disorder, and an association with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is suggested in some cases. A Japanese male presenting with recurrent nasopharyngeal problems developed fever, generalized lymphadenopathy, and hepatosplenomegaly. Separ

## Abstract A 56βyearβold woman with an acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) developed a severe __allβtrans__βretinoic (ATRA) syndrome on day 17 of treatment. Shortly after, she presented a picture of pancytopenia, hepatosplenomegaly, increased triglycerides, ferritin, and liver enzymes. A bone marro
We report a case of T-cell lymphoma showing in the peripheral blood (PB) exclusively T-lymphocytes with suppresser T-cell preponderance and a high percentage of natural killer (NK) marker positive cells by flow cytometry. A T-cell receptor (TCR) gene analysis of the PB leukocytes demonstrated rearra
A patient with pure red cell aplasia and expansion of the peripheral blood natural killer (NK) cell population is described. Despite normal absolute and differential leukocyte counts, NK cells were increased at diagnosis and at relapse. Furthermore, these cells were not morphologically recognizable
