==Definition / Description of Disease==
 +
A neoplasm characterized by a persistent (>6 months) increase in peripheral NK cells (> 2 x 10^9/L) and a chronic indolent clinical course. Additional essential diagnostic criteria include flow cytometric evidence of peripheral blood or bone marrow involvement by a uniform population of sCD3(-), CD16(+) NK cells and demonstration of a restricted pattern of KIR expression.
  
  
*Persistent (>6 months) increase in peripheral blood NK-cell count without a clearly identifiable cause
+
The differential diagnosis includes other mature T-cell neoplasms with a leukemic presentation. T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia is a disorder with clinical and pathological overlap; NK-LGL cannot be distinguished from T-LGL by cytological features. If there is prominent lymphocytosis, an aggressive NK-cell leukemia can be considered and NK-LGL is distinguished by an indolent clinical presentation and lack of nuclear EBV positivity. <ref name=":0" />
*NK-cell count usually >2x10<sup>9</sup>/L
 
*Indolent

This page was converted to the new template on 2023-12-07. The original page can be found at HAEM4:Chronic Lymphoproliferative Disorder of NK Cells.

(General Instructions – The main focus of these pages is the clinically significant genetic alterations in each disease type. Use HUGO-approved gene names and symbols (italicized when appropriate), HGVS-based nomenclature for variants, as well as generic names of drugs and testing platforms or assays if applicable. Please complete tables whenever possible and do not delete them (add N/A if not applicable in the table and delete the examples). Please do not delete or alter the section headings. The use of bullet points alongside short blocks of text rather than only large paragraphs is encouraged. Additional instructions below in italicized blue text should not be included in the final page content. Please also see Author_Instructions and FAQs as well as contact your Associate Editor or Technical Support)

Cancer Category / Type

Mature T-cell and NK-cell neoplasms [1]

Cancer Sub-Classification / Subtype

None [1]

Definition / Description of Disease

A neoplasm characterized by a persistent (>6 months) increase in peripheral NK cells (> 2 x 10^9/L) and a chronic indolent clinical course. Additional essential diagnostic criteria include flow cytometric evidence of peripheral blood or bone marrow involvement by a uniform population of sCD3(-), CD16(+) NK cells and demonstration of a restricted pattern of KIR expression.


The differential diagnosis includes other mature T-cell neoplasms with a leukemic presentation. T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia is a disorder with clinical and pathological overlap; NK-LGL cannot be distinguished from T-LGL by cytological features. If there is prominent lymphocytosis, an aggressive NK-cell leukemia can be considered and NK-LGL is distinguished by an indolent clinical presentation and lack of nuclear EBV positivity. [1]

Synonyms / Terminology

  • Chronic lymphoproliferative disorder of NK cells
  • Chronic NK-large granular lymphocyte lymphoproliferative disorder
  • Chronic NK-cell lymphocytosis (historical)
  • Indolent leukemia of NK cells (historical) [1]

Epidemiology / Prevalence

  • Median age: 60 years
  • Does not show sex, racial, geographical, or genetic predisposition [1]

Clinical Features

Signs and Symptoms Asymptomatic (incidental finding on complete blood counts)

May occur in association with autoimmune disorders, solid tumors, hematological neoplasms, and neuropathy

Uncommon/atypical: splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, lymphadenopathy, skin involvement [1]

Laboratory Findings Lymphocytosis, variable neutropenia and/or anemia [1]

Sites of Involvement

  • Peripheral blood and bone marrow
  • Uncommon: spleen [1]

Morphologic Features

  • NK-cells are typically intermediate to large in size with small, round nuclei and moderate cytoplasm with fine or coarse azurophilic granules.
  • Intrasinusoidal and sometimes interstitial infiltration of bone marrow and possibly spleen. [1]

Immunophenotype [1]

Finding Marker
Positive CD16
Positive cytoplasmic CD3-epsilon
Positive (frequent) CD56
Positive Cytotoxic markers

(TIA1, granzyme B & granzyme M)

Positive CD94
Decreased to negative CD2, CD7, CD57, CD161
Negative surface CD3

TNFAIP3; loss of function [6] TSG 6% [9] - 10% [6] No No No
PI3K pathway genes; PIK3CD activating mutation, PIK3AP1 mutation not previously described [7] 3 patients (5%) [7] No No No PIK3CD mutations are observed as de novo germline mutations causing activated PI3 kinase delta syndrome [7]
STAT5b; exon 16 missense N642H mutation in the SH2 domain, driver mutation [2] 1 patient [2] Unknown Unknown; progressed to aggressive disease and died due to disease [2] No current approved therapeutic targets [2]

Epigenomic Alterations

  • TET2 shows increased methylated regions in clonal NK-LGLs compared to normal NK-cells [7]

Genes and Main Pathways Involved

Pathways involved include anti-apoptotic signaling and cell survival pathways. This includes the JAK/STAT pathway with constitutive activation of STAT3 and an activating mutation in STAT3. Also involved are RAS/MAPK and Pi3K/AKT pathways, which are constitutionally activated. [5]

Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods

  • Assessing for restricted expression of KIR isoforms, is often used as a surrogate for clonality [10].
  • Mutational screen for STAT3, STAT5b, TET2, TNFAIP3 and CCL22 mutations may be more helpful when compared to KIR analysis on diagnostic work-up [5].
  • Absence of T-cell receptor gene rearrangement studies [10].
  • Sanger Sequencing.
  • Whole Genome Sequencing.
