Hi ALL;
I would like to thank everybody who gave me comments on a case of a boy with 
SLE and CD2+CD56+Dr-  cells in BM, I asked for help with.
Fortunately I have found one similar case in the literature published by 
Prieto et al. J.Clin:Path 1996,49,1011-1013.
In a new material I got yesterday there is a progression of disease with 40% 
blasts in the BM (immunophenotype the same I gave previously) and spleen 
increasing in size. Cytogenetics is normal. 
I have no other choice than to classify the case as an (acute???) leukemia 
of NK cells. 
Best wishes
Anna
