[Clear-cell carcinoma of the kidney in a patient with hairy-cell leukemia. Immunologic and epidemiologic considerations].
The paper describes a case of light-cell carcinoma of the kidney in a patient affected by hairy-cell leukemia. The immunological status is assessed revealing a severe deficit of NK phenotype lymphocytes. Therapy with alpha interferon was proposed in order to stimulate killing and recruitment processes of new NK cells.
