Overview

Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of adult T-cell leukemia include abnormal anemia, thrombocytopenia, and elevated lymphocyte count. Hypercalcemia is a key feature among patients with adult T-cell leukemia.

Laboratory Findings

The following laboratory abnormalities may be observed in patients suffering from adult T-cell leukemia:[1][2][3]

Complete Blood Count

Basic Metabolic Panel

Peripheral Smear

  • Characteristic leukemia cells with sharp nuclear indentations and a prominent nucleoli
  • "Cloverleaf" or "flower" cells

Antibody Titres

Immunohistochemistry

  • Adult T-cell leukemia cells are typically CD2, CD4, CD5, and CD8 positive.
