title: [T-cell leukaemia in adults: report of two cases (author's transl)].
abstract: Two cases of T-cell chronic lymphoid leukaemia in adults were classified by recently developed immunological methods. Clinically there was splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, marked anaemia, para-aortic lymph nodes, cutaneous infiltration, little peripheral lymph-node enlargement and significant marrow infiltration. Immunological tests of membrane antigens revealed T-cell determinants. T-CLL may differ in its course and prognosis from B-CLL and may require different treatment.
