Abstract

Key Clinical Message: Distinguishing chronic lymphoproliferative disorder of NK‐cells from aggressive NK‐cell leukemia is critical because they have distinct clinical course and management. Immunophenotyping plays a key role in distinguishing these two entities, however, it could not be used as sole criteria and clinical/laboratory findings are equally important.
