The chronic proliferative disease of large granular lymphocytes.
This review deals with the chronic lymphoproliferative disease of large granular lymphocytes endowed with T and natural killer cell characteristics. The disease is sufficiently characterized to allow its distinction from other lymphoproliferative disorders of the T cell type. The heterogeneous clinical course and laboratory findings illustrate the complexity of the interaction between proliferating large granular lymphocytes and other haematopoietic cells.
