Description |
T- cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL) is a rare, mature lymphoid neoplasm that affects males around age 60 and presents with leukocytosis, lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly (1-3). Although rare, direct invasion of the CNS can occur (3,4). We describe a case of a 57-year-old male with T-PLL with acute, bilateral, painful vision loss from infiltrative optic neuropathy without optic nerve sheath or CSF involvement. |
