  • Title: Autoimmune manifestations in large granular lymphocyte leukemia.
    Author: Bockorny B, Dasanu CA.
    Journal: Clin Lymphoma Myeloma Leuk; 2012 Dec; 12(6):400-5. PubMed ID: 22999943.
    Abstract:
    Large granular lymphocyte (LGL) leukemia features a group of indolent lymphoproliferative diseases that display a strong association with various autoimmune conditions. Notwithstanding, these autoimmune conditions have not been comprehensively characterized or systematized to date. As a result, their clinical implications remain largely unknown. The authors offer a comprehensive review of the existing literature on various autoimmune conditions documented in the course of T-cell LGL (T-LGL) leukemia. Though some of them are thought be secondary to the LGL leukemia, others could be primary and might even play a role in its pathogenesis. A considerable clinico-laboratory overlap between T-LGL leukemia associated with rheumatoid arthritis and Felty's syndrome suggests that they are just different eponyms for the same clinical entity.
