    Abstract:
    T-cell large granular lymphocytic (LGL) leukemia is characterized by a clonal proliferation of CD3+ T-cells and has been associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Splenomegaly is a common finding and a majority of cases present with cytopenia. Felty syndrome (FS) is characterized by neutropenia and splenomegaly and is also classically described in the literature for its association with RA. Similarities in clinical features, pathogenesis, management, genetics, and immunologic basis of FS and T-cell LGL leukemia have led to the suggestion that they exist on the same spectrum of disease. We present a case of T-cell LGL leukemia in an RA patient with clinical features not distinguishable from features of FS.
