It was observed a torpid evolutive behavior and therapeutic response. The patient died during the first 4 months of the diagnosis, which corroborated what is published in medical literature on this topic.This is the first case diagnosed in Cuba of an adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma associated with HTLV-1.
