Abstract
Adult T-cell lymphoma/leukaemia (ATLL) is an aggressive T-cell lymphoma caused by the retrovirus HTLV-1. Its clinical presentation and course can be variable, and it may mimic other T-cell lymphomas or non-neoplastic entities. ATLL is commonly complicated by superadded Strongyloides infestation. In this setting, this can rapidly accelerate a patients demise, highlighting the need for awareness and vigilance of this dual diagnosis.
期刊介绍：
This monthly review journal aims to provide the practising diagnostic pathologist and trainee pathologist with up-to-date reviews on histopathology and cytology and related technical advances. Each issue contains invited articles on a variety of topics from experts in the field and includes a mini-symposium exploring one subject in greater depth. Articles consist of system-based, disease-based reviews and advances in technology. They update the readers on day-to-day diagnostic work and keep them informed of important new developments. An additional feature is the short section devoted to hypotheses; these have been refereed. There is also a correspondence section.
