At 6 months after BMT, lymphocytosis (WBC count, 23,100/microL [23.1 x 10(9)/L]; 80\% (0.80) large granular lymphocytes [LGLs]) occurred. The LGLs were CD3+CD4-CD8+, with clonally rearranged T-cell receptor gamma gene, and of donor origin, as shown by analysis of polymorphic microsatellite markers. Epstein-Barr virus was not present. The diagnosis, therefore, was consistent with T-cell large granular lymphocytic (T-LGL) leukemia. Corticosteroids controlled the LGL count, but progressive pancytopenia led to death 4 months later. Retrospective analysis showed that the T-LGL leukemia apparently had arisen as early as 3 months after BMT. The distinguishing features of this case included donor origin, neoplastic nature, and the aggressive fatal outcome.}, keywords = {*Tissue Donors, Adult, Base Sequence, Bone Marrow Transplantation / *adverse effects, Clone Cells, DNA Mutational Analysis, DNA, Neoplasm / analysis, Fatal Outcome, Humans, Leukemia, Myeloid, Chronic / immunology / *therapy, Leukemia, T-Cell, Chronic / etiology / genetics / *pathology, Male, Microsatellite Repeats, Molecular Sequence Data, Receptors, Antigen, T-Cell, gamma-delta / genetics, Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov{\textquoteright}t, Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction, T-Lymphocyte Subsets, Transplantation Chimera, Transplantation, Homologous}, author = {Au,W.
