* A neoplasm characterized by a persistent (>6 months) increase in peripheral NK cells (> 2 x 10^9/L) and a chronic indolent clinical course. Additional essential diagnostic criteria include flow cytometric evidence of peripheral blood or bone marrow involvement by a uniform population of sCD3(-), CD16(+) NK cells and demonstration of a restricted pattern of KIR expression.

* The differential diagnosis includes other mature T-cell neoplasms with a leukemic presentation. T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia is a disorder with clinical and pathological overlap; NK-LGL cannot be distinguished from T-LGL by cytological features. If there is prominent lymphocytosis, an aggressive NK-cell leukemia can be considered and NK-LGL is distinguished by an indolent clinical presentation and lack of nuclear EBV positivity.<ref name=":0" />

* Signs and symptoms - Asymptomatic (incidental finding on complete blood counts); May occur in association with autoimmune disorders, solid tumors, hematological neoplasms, and neuropathy; Uncommon/atypical: splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, lymphadenopathy, skin involvement<ref name=":0" />

* Laboratory findings - Lymphocytosis, variable neutropenia and/or anemia<ref name=":0" />
