Aberrant Immunophenotypic Expression of CD5 in a Case of B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Case Report

Abstract: Aberrant expression of CD5 has rarely been reported in B cell lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). We report the rare immunophenotypic expression of CD5 in a 20-year-old male who was diagnosed to have B-ALL on bone marrow examination. Cytogenetic analysis revealed a mosaic supernumerary marker chromosome. The patient died due to acute pancreatitis after admission. CD5 positive B-ALL may represent a distinct clinicopathologic subcategory of B-ALL with an aggressive clinical course.

“…All the patients described in case reports published till now correlate this entity with aggressive behaviour, described a patient of same entity with lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly and ascites. This patient died before chemotherapy could be initiated [5]. Two patients reported showed aggressive behaviour [6] and reported a Ph positive B-cell ALL patient with aberrant CD 5 expression.…”

“…The patient died of pancreatitis before starting induction chemotherapy [11]. Compiling all the cases in the literature, aberrant expression of CD 5 is reported only in 15 cases [3,4,6,[9][10][11]. They are summarized in Table 1.…”

“…Additionally, there was no assessment for t(11;14) translocation or cyclin D1 positivity . However, while lack of TdT and/or CD45 expression is not typical of B‐ALL, it is hardly rare, as it has been reported in as many as 10% and 30% of cases, respectively . Furthermore, lack of surface immunoglobulin (sIg), negative cytogenetics, and the patient's clinical presentation (hepatosplenomegaly) suggest C5 + B‐ALL was the appropriate diagnosis .…”
