Description

The symptoms of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) appear owing to an adult-T-cell-leukemia virus (humanT-cell leukemia virus type I: HTLV-1).<br> A 91-year-old woman presented to the ENT service with a one-month history of hoarseness and an abnormal sensation of the throat. Inspection of the oral cavity revealed the presence of a tumor in the oropharynx. On endoscopic examination, the tumor extended from the nasopharynx to the oropharynx. A positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan showed multiple accumulation throughout the body other than Waldeyer’s Ring. Histological analysis showed a variety of cells, which stained positive for CD3, CD4, CD8, and CD25, and negative to CD20.<br> Taking those findings into consideration, we diagnosed the patient as having adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (lymphoma type).
