Abstract
Objective: Indolent T-lymphoblastic proliferation (iT-LBP) is a non-neoplastic disease with an indolent clinical course, manifesting as hyperplasia of immature extrathymic T-lymphoblastic cells. Isolated iT-LBP has been observed, but the majority of iT-LBP cases has been seen in conjunction with other diseases. iT-LBP is easily misdiagnosed as T-lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia, and understanding the disease of indolent T-lymphoblastic proliferation may prevent misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis in pathological diagnosis. Case presentation: We report a case morphology, immunophenotypic, and molecular features of iT-LBP combined with fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma developed after colorectal adenocarcinoma and review relevant literature. Conclusion: iT-LBP combined with fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma developed after colorectal adenocarcinoma is relatively rare and should always be considered as a differential diagnosis of T-lymphoblastic lymphoma and scirrhous hepatocellular carcinoma as the two disorders show highly similar clinical features.
期刊介绍:
Pathology & Oncology Research (POR) is an interdisciplinary Journal at the interface of pathology and oncology including the preclinical and translational research, diagnostics and therapy. Furthermore, POR is an international forum for the rapid communication of reviews, original research, critical and topical reports with excellence and novelty. Published quarterly, POR is dedicated to keeping scientists informed of developments on the selected biomedical fields bridging the gap between basic research and clinical medicine. It is a special aim for POR to promote pathological and oncological publishing activity of colleagues in the Central and East European region. The journal will be of interest to pathologists, and a broad range of experimental and clinical oncologists, and related experts. POR is supported by an acknowledged international advisory board and the Arányi Fundation for modern pathology.
