I sent the first message too soon. The "NK-cell" leukemia is CD5+, CD2+,
CD3-, CD4+, CD8-, CD57+, CD56- and CD16- but we don't know TRCab. The
patient has had some sort of lymphoproliferative process for a long time.
This smells like a CD3- T-cell tumor to me. NK cell neoplasms are usually
CD56+ and aggressive. Any thoughts? Anyone seen this before?
