Abstract |
Malignancies arising from natural killer (NK) cells are being increasingly recognized as distinct clinicopathological entities. We here report the characteristics of a peculiar case of NK-cell acute leukemia with unusual agranular morphology and rearrangement of the T-cell receptor (TCR) delta-chain gene.
