Overview

B-cell prolymphocytic leukemia arises from mature B-cells, which are hematologic white cells that are normally involved in the in the humoral immunity component of the adaptive immune system by secreting antibodies.

Pathophysiology

Markers

Microscopic pathology

  • The originating cell line for B-cell prolymphocytic leukemia is a mature B-cells and are medium sized cells.
  • More than 50 percent of the circulating cells in the peripheral blood are prolymphocytes.
  • The nucleus is typically round or oval, and the cytoplasm is usually moderately abundant.
  • Leukemic cells can be found in peripheral blood, lymph nodes, bone marrow, spleen, liver, and skin.[5]
