摘要
Background/Aim: Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a well-known lymphoproliferative disease with very effective treatment approaches primarily relying on purine analogues. However, these treatments are associated with profound and is a rare and extremely aggressive skin tumor with an increased incidence in immunocompromised patients. Case Report: We report a case of a patient with HCL who was diagnosed with MCC, while in remission following retreatment with pentostatin, which induced a profound decrease in CD4 supporting the hypothesis of a significant association between immunosuppression and MCC pathogenesis.
