Abstract
Objective: Indolent extranodal T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders have recently been described as new entities in the gastrointestinal tract and acral sites displaying clonal T-cell receptor (TCR) rearrangement and nonactivated cytotoxic CD8+ T-cell phenotypes.
Methods/Results: We report a unique case of an atypical myometrial T-cell lymphoproliferation in a 39-year-old multiparous woman, which shares many of the features mentioned above: CD8+/TIA1+/granzyme B- phenotype, clonal TCR rearrangement and indolent course.
Conclusion(s): We hypothesize that it might derive from a subset of uterine nonrecirculating CD8+ resident memory T cells expanded after repeated exposure to alloextravillous trophoblastic antigen.
