We recently had an ALPS patient (20yo, lymph adenopathy) lymph node FNA with a high number of homogeneous abnormal T cells- 64% CD3+, CD2+, CD5+, CD7-, CD57+, CD38+, CD4-, CD8- and CD25-. I thought this was very high numbers and was concerned abouyt a developing lymphoma (they do get them you know, and besides, tumors happen). Has anyone ever seen this high a % homogeneous abnormal T's in ALPS before?
