Overview

  • Hairy cell leukemia is a distinct, indolent, small, mature B-cell neoplasm. [1]

Classification

  • Hairy cell leukemia is a distinct, indolent, small, mature B-cell neoplasm. [1]
  • Several splenic B-cell neoplasms may mimic its clinical and morphologic features, including hairy cell leukemia variant, also referred to as splenic B-cell lymphoma or leukemia with prominent nucleoli.[2]
  • The chart below illustrates characteristic findings associated with hairy cell leukemia and splenic B-cell lymphoma:[3][4][5][6][7]

  • The male to female ratio is approximately 4 to 1
  • The median age at diagnosis is between 55 and 60 years
  • Leukocytosis is observed in 10-15% of patients
  • Decreased level of monocyte on peripheral blood smear
  • Decreased hemoglobin level in approximately 85% of the patients
  • Thrombocytopenia is present in approximately 80% of the patients
  • CD103 +ve, CD11c +ve, and CD25 +ve on immunophenotype
  • DBA 44, and Annexin A1 are positive on immunohistochemistry, Cyclin D1 may be variably expressed
  • Presence of BRAF V600E mutation detectable by molecular or immunohistochemical methods.
 
  • The male to female ratio is approximately 2 to 1
  • The median age at diagnosis is greater than 70 years
  • Greater than 90% lymphocytosis is observed
  • Normal level of monocyte on peripheral blood smear
  • Normal hemoglobin level in most of the patients
  • Normal platelets count in most of the patients
  • CD103 +ve, CD11c +ve, and CD25 -ve on immunophenotype
  • DBA 44 +ve, and Annexin A1 -ve on immunohistochemistry
  • Absence of BRAF V600E mutation
