Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is a distinct type of peripheral T-cell neoplasm characterized by transformed T-lymphocytes with a pleomorphic (flower-like) nucleus and is resulted due to an infection with human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I). ATLL is regionally endemic, notably in southwestern parts of Japan, the Caribbean basin, and parts of Central Africa. Tumor cells typically resemble mature helper T-cells, expressing CD3, CD4 and CD25 antigens, and are negative for CD8 [1]. However, it is as yet unclear how ATLL develops following infection of host cells. Herein we aim to shed light on these mechanisms, by describing the case of a patient whose tumor cells expressed an unusual CD4 þ/CD8 þ/CD25 À phenotype, with an examination of the epigenetics of these cells.A 78-year-old Japanese woman was referred to Ehime University Hospital with systemic lymphadenopathy. On admission, a complete blood count showed a white cell count of 42Â 109/L, comprising 17.6% lymphocytes, but lacking pleomorphic cells. Hemoglobin was 11.7 g/dL, and the platelet count was 231Â109/L. Serum lactate dehydrogenase was recorded at 570IU/L (85–253 IU/L). The serum calcium concentration was not elevated. Antibodies against HTLV-1 were detected in the serum. Southern blotting subsequently identified a single HTLV-1 integration site common to all ATLL tumor cells, confirming that they were monoclonal. Sequencing by inverse polymerase chain reaction (I-PCR) mapped the proviral integration site to chromosome location 5q11-12; approximately 1kb downstream of the Polo-like kinase 2 (PLK2) gene. Computed tomography scanning and gallium scintigraphy revealed abnormal swelling of cervical, axillary, inguinal, para-aortic, and mesenteric lymph nodes. A cervical lymph node was biopsied and
