Krishnadasan INTRODUCTION T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL) is a rare, mature T-cell leukemia that accounts for approximately 2% of all T-cell leukemias T-PLL mainly affects the elderly with a mean age at presentation of 65 years Patients with ataxia telangiectasia have a greatly increased incidence of T-PLL with a much earlier median age of presentation Patients typically present with widely disseminated disease at diagnosis manifesting as significant leukocytosis, hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, skin lesions, and serous effusions Despite advances in therapeutic approaches, the response and prognosis of these patients remain poor with a median survival of less than year DIAGNOSIS Morphology and immunophenotyping are the primary means of diagnosing T-PLL • Peripheral blood smear (PBS): A PBS is a key test to diagnose T-PLL, which reveals a population of prolymphocytes (Figure 22.1) The typical cytology of prolymphocytes consists of medium-size cells with condensed nuclear chromatin, a single prominent nucleolus, and intensely basophilic nongranular cytoplasm with cytoplasmic protrusions or “blebs.” The nuclei can be round to oval in 50% of cases, or irregular • Bone marrow (BM): Infiltration of the marrow with prolymphocytes creates a mixed pattern (diffuse and interstitial) Reticulin fibrosis is almost always present • Other tissues: Spleen histology shows infiltration of the red pulp with involvement of blood vessels, capsule, and white pulp Infiltration of the lymph nodes is diffuse (predominantly paracortical) The skin involvement reveals dermal infiltration with prolymphocytes, but lacks epidermotropism • Immunophenotype (see T-PLL clinical case 41 available at www.demosmedical.com/malignant-hematology): T-PLL cells express CD2, CD3, CD7, and CD52 CD7 expression is strong in 133 134 MATURE T- AND NK-CELL LEUKEMIA Figure 22.1 Atypical lymphocytosis in T-PLL PBS shows atypical lymphoid cells that display condensed chromatin, prominent nucleoli, and a certain amount of amphophilic cytoplasm, compatible with prolymphocytes (left, ×1000 total magnification) A touch imprint of bone marrow core biopsy reveals sheets of atypical lymphocytes wth morphologic features similar to those in peripheral blood (right, ×1000) contrast to other mature T-cell neoplasms CD52 expression is strong as well, which renders the disease susceptible to alemtuzumab (see the following) Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase is not expressed CD3 may be expressed on the cell membrane at low or high levels Expression of CD4 and CD8 is variable: 60% of cases are CD4+/CD8−, 25% of cases are CD4+/CD8+, and 15% of cases are CD4−/CD8+ T-PLL cells overexpress TCL1 as demonstrated by immunohistochemistry GENETICS The most common characteristic chromosome abnormality is inversion of chromosome 14 (inv 14(q11;q32)) followed by t(14;14) (q11;q32) occurring in 80% and 10% of cases, respectively Both rearrangements juxtapose the TCL1 locus with oncogenes TCL1A and TCL1B at chromosome 14q32.1 resulting in activation and expression of the proto-oncogene TCL1 TCL-1 can also be detected by flow cytometry Other genetic abnormalities include t(X;14)(q28;q11), trisomy 8/ iso8q, 12p13, and 11q23, with the latter being the locus for the ataxia telangiectasia mutated gene Abnormalities of chromosome 6 and 17, including deletion of the TP53 gene, have also been observed KEY DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSES B-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (B-PLL) has a similar clinical presentation and cytologic appearance to T-PLL However, skin infiltration and lymphadenopathy, which are unusual in B-PLL, are much more common in T-PLL In addition, these two entities differ in their immunophenotype (see earlier and T-PLL clinical case 41 available at www.demosmedical.com/malignant-hematology) Both T-PLL and mycosis fungoides (MF)/ Sézary syndrome are T-cell neoplasms that can involve the blood and skin The morphology of the “cerebriform” 22 T-Cell Prolymphocytic Leukemia 135 variant (Sézary cell-like) seen in 5% of patients with T-PLL resembles the Sézary cells seen in MF (see Chapter 46) Leukemic manifestation of peripheral T-cell lymphoma and CD4+ variant of large granular lymphocytic leukemia should also be included in the differential diagnosis (see Chapter 23) TREATMENT A minority of patients who present with stable or slowly p rogressive lymphocytosis without symptoms can be monitored closely without therapeutic interventions It is generally prudent to follow these patients much more closely than patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia However, the majority of patients present with aggressive disease requiring treatment Alemtuzumab, a humanized monoclonal IgG1 antibody, has significantly improved outcomes in T-PLL patients Serious infusion reactions can occur and thus the initial dose is mg followed by titration to the standard dose of 30 mg, three times weekly Patients require Pneumocystis jiroveci and herpes virus prophylaxis along with weekly cytomegalovirus (CMV) monitoring Referral for BM transplantation should be made up front for all patients who are candidates Frontline Treatment Alemtuzumab + consolidation with a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (J Clin Oncol 1997;15(7):2667-2672) • IV administration of alemtuzumab is preferable in T-PLL versus SC route IV patients with 91% overall response rate (ORR) (29/32; 81% complete response [CR]) versus 33% (3/9) with SC route (Blood 2011;118(22):5799-5802) • Allogenic stem cell transplant offers a chance of cure and should be considered in the first remission whenever possible Autologous stem cell transplant provides a longer duration of remission and lower toxicity profile but does not cure the disease (Br J Haematol 2010;149(6):907-910) • Allografted patients still have a risk of relapse and when relapsed have a very poor prognosis with no established treatment available However, tapering of immunosuppressive therapy or donor lymphocyte infusion after re-induction therapy can result in remission Alternative Frontline Treatments • Pentostatin (can be added to alemtuzumab; J Clin Oncol 1994;12(12):2588-2593) • Fludarabine, mitoxantrone, and cyclophosphamide (FMC) × four cycles, followed by consolidation with IV alemtuzumab 3×/week × 12 weeks in responding patients (Cancer 2013;15;119(12):2258-2267) 136 MATURE T- AND NK-CELL LEUKEMIA ■■ FMC-A had an ORR of 92% (12 CR, 11 PR) with median progression-free survival (PFS) and OS of 17 and 12 months, respectively Higher TCL1 protein expression was associated with inferior PFS Relapsed Refractory T-PLL • For those patients who received induction therapy with alemtuzumab, with response duration of at least months, retreatment can be successful in achieving a second remission • Nelarabine, with or without fludarabine (J Clin Oncol 2008; 26(7):1098-1110) • Bendamustine, ORR of 53% (Br J Haematol 2015;168(6):916-919) Potential Practice-Changing Clinical Trials There is a paucity of randomized clinical trials in T-PLL due to rarity of the disease There are clinical trials looking at maintenance romidepsin, an HDAC inhibitor, after stem cell transplant (NCT02512497) Trials are also looking at combinations of alemtuzumab with purine analogs and other agents REFERENCES FOR SUPPLEMENTAL READING

leukemia (T-LGLL) is a rare malignancy arising from aberrant proliferation of post thymic large granular lymphocytes in the peripheral blood, bone marrow (BM), and spleen It usually presents in the sixth decade of life and affects males and females equally Its incidence is estimated at in million individuals in the United States Chronic antigenic stimulation with putative autoantigens or unknown viruses is hypothesized to contribute to its pathogenesis Clinically, an indolent behavior is most often encountered However, approximately 60% of patients will require therapy due to development of cytopenias, symptomatic splenomegaly, autoimmune disorders, or systemic B- symptoms T-LGLL has been reported to be the most common cause of secondary pure red cell aplasia in the United States Autoimmune conditions, most notably rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren syndrome, and autoimmune cytopenias, are well-known phenomena in T-LGLL BM failure disorders such as myelodysplastic syndrome, aplastic anemia, and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria have been described to comanifest with indolent T-LGLL DIAGNOSIS In the past, diagnosis required the presence of clonal LGL lymphocytosis of at least 2.0 × 109/L; coexpression of CD3, CD8, and CD57 immunophenotypic markers; and usually αβ T-cell receptor (TCR) positive, but may be of the γδ type More recently, lower numbers of circulating clonal T-LGLLs (
