Structure | Disease |
---|---|
Book | Haematolymphoid Tumours (5th ed.) |
Category | T-cell and NK-cell lymphoid proliferations and lymphomas |
Family | Mature T-cell and NK-cell neoplasms |
Type | Mature T-cell and NK-cell leukaemias |
Subtype(s) | NK-large granular lymphocytic leukaemia |
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]

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.
