Overview

Based on both the clinical presentation and lab values, adult T-cell leukemia may be classified into either an acute variant, chronic variant, smouldering variant, or a lymphoma variant.[1][2]

Classification

  • Based on both the clinical presentation and lab values, adult T-cell leukemia may be classified into either an acute variant, chronic variant, smouldering variant, or a lymphoma variant.[1][2]
