Zusammenfassung
Es wird über ein immunoblastisches Sarkom vom T-Zell-Typ (Retikulosarkom) bei einer 65jährigen Frau berichtet. Bei der Obduktion fanden sich Tumorzellinfiltrate mit den typischen histomorphologischen Kriterien eines immunoblastischen Sarkoms im Uterus, im Knochenmark und in den Leptomeningen. Intra vitam wurde die Diagnose eines T-Zell-Lymphoms durch Anwendung immunologischer Marker an Zellen des Liquor cerebrospinalis gestellt. Soweit übersehbar, wurde bisher nur ein einziger Fall eines immunoblastischen Sarkoms vom T-Zell-Typ beschrieben.
Summary
The case of a 65 year-old female with an immunoblastic sarcoma of T cell type (reticulosarcoma) is reported. Post mortem tumor cell infiltrations with the typically histomorphological criteria of an immunoblastic sarcoma were found in the uterus, bone marrow and leptomeninges. With the aid of immunological markers the T cell type of this malignant lymphoma was diagnosed intra vitam on the basis of CSF cells. Until now, only one case of an immunoblastic sarcoma of the T cell type has been described in the literature.
