Sustained Remission of γδ T-Cell Lymphoma by Graft-Versus-Lymphoma Effect That Relapsed Early After Cord Blood Transplantation

γδ T-cell lymphoma (γδTCL) is an extremely rare subtype of malignant lymphoma that is derived from mature activated T-cells expressing γδ T-cell receptor (TCR). It comprises 2% to 3% of all T-cell lymphomas (TCLs), and the major histologic subtypes of γδTCL are hepatosplenic γδTCL (HSGDTCL ) and primary cutaneous γδTCL (PCGDTCL).1 The expression of TCR γδ is a strong prognostic factor of decreased survival in cutaneous TCL,2 and both HSGDTCL and PCGDTCL are reported to have aggressive clinical courses.
