Abstract

Hematopoietic neoplasms involving the spleen are uncommon, but T cell neoplasms involving the spleen are extremely rare. The rarity of splenic involvement by T cell neoplasms has resulted in a limited body of literature describing their splenic characteristics. As a result, our purpose in this review article is to provide and summarize some of the characteristics seen by different T cell neoplasms that may involve the spleen.

Keywords: Splenic T cell lymphoblastic leukemia; Splenic T cell lymphoma; Splenic T cell neoplasms.
