Initial diagnosis of ATLL should include a comprehensive physical exam with skin evaluation and CT scans of the chest, abdomen and pelvis. The laboratory evaluation should include: a complete blood count (CBC), metabolic panel (serum electrolyte levels, calcium, creatinine and blood urea nitrogen) and serum LDH levels. Testing methods including PCR, Flow Cytometry, ELISA, serology, and immunohistochemistry in addition to morphologic studies may be employed to diagnose ATLL<ref name=":4">NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology, T-Cell Lymphomas, Version 1.2021.
