Abstract
An autopsy case of a 32-years old female with malignant reticulosis showing T cell marker in the terminal stage was reported.
She developed abdominal pain, cough, sputum and fever, then she was found to have generalized lymphadenopathy and massive abdominal tumor without neoplastic laboratory findings.
A lymph node biopsy from the left inguinal region showed atypical reticulum cell proliferations with eosinophilia and an increase of capillary vessels. VEMP therapy induced her to a complete remission for about 3 years. But after the delivery of a normal boy, abnormal reticulum cells showing T cell marker with leukocytosis were observed in the peripheral blood. Finally she died of septicemia due to candida infection.
In autopsy, abnormal reticulum cells were disseminated in generalized organs like an acute leukemia.
