AbstractAdult T-cell leukemia (ATL) is a disease found endemic in Southern Japan and the Caribbean basin. The human T-cell leukemia virus I (HTLV-I) has been implicated epidemiologically as the causative agent in this disease. This paper describes the identification of this disease in Hawaii in a second generation immigrant from Southern Japan. The disease was initially indolent, then clinically explosive, characterized by cutaneous lesions, leukemic lymphocytes with convoluted nuclei of T-cell phenotype, hypercalcemia, and a terminal infection.
