Overview
T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia is a rare condition. Its incidence increases with age, and with ataxia telangiectasia. The median age at diagnosis is 30 years.
Epidemiology and Demographics
- T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia is very rare, and it represents 2% of all small lymphocytic leukemias in adults.
- The incidence of T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is 65 years.[1]
- Patients with ataxia telangiectasia and T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia are young adults; the median age at diagnosis is 30 years.
- Males are slightly more affected with T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia than females.
- There is no racial predilection for T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia.
- T-PLL is a rare leukemia, primarily affecting adults over the age of 30. It represents 2% of all small lymphocytic leukemias in adults.[2]
