An Enteropathy-like Indolent NK-Cell Proliferation Presenting in the Female Genital Tract

No need to search far and wide for the newest Pathology industry news as Lab.Equipment guarantees you are updated no matter where you are. This week’s curated article is fresh from The American Journal of Surgical Pathology:

Natural killer (NK) cell enteropathy is a lymphoproliferative disorder, initially described by Mansoor and colleagues, that presents in the gastrointestinal tract, and is often mistaken for extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma on first assessment. This population of cells in this process have an NK-cell phenotype (CD3, CD56, CD2, CD7), lacks evidence of Epstein-Barr virus infection, has germline rearrangement of the T-cell receptor, and a very indolent clinical course. Indeed, many of such patients had been originally diagnosed as having an NK/T-cell lymphoma, and subsequently received chemotherapy. We report a unique case where an indolent lymphoproliferative disorder with features that resemble NK-cell enteropathy is encountered for the first time outside the gastrointestinal tract, specifically in the female genitourinary tract. We provide morphologic, immunophenotypic, and molecular documentation of such, in association with... More of this in the AJSP Blog.
