title: Progression of a hepatosplenic gamma delta T-cell leukemia/lymphoma on hyperCVAD/MTX and ara-C: literature review and our institutional treatment approach.
abstract: A 24-year-old male presented with abdominal pain, fever, and palpable splenomegaly. His differential count revealed myelocytes, metamyelocytes, and nucleated red cells. A bone marrow biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of hepatosplenic gamma delta T-cell leukemia/lymphoma. We describe here our center's diagnostic and treatment approach for this rare leukemia.
