Overview

  • Hairy cell leukemia may be classified into two subtypes which include hairy cell leukemia (classic) and hairy cell leukemia variant.[1]

Classification

  • Hairy cell leukemia may be classified into two subtypes which include:[1]
  • Hairy cell leukemia (classic)
  • Hairy cell leukemia variant.
  • Hairy cell leukemia variant is still considered a provisional entity at this time, as the WHO is unable to recognize it as distinct diseases due to insufficient evidence.[2]
  • The chart below illustrates characteristic findings associated with each subtype:[3][4]

  • Occurs in approximately 95% of the cases
  • The male to female ratio is approximately
    4 to 1

  • The median age at diagnosis is 55 years
  • Less than 10% lymphocytosis is observed
  • 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+, CD11c+, and CD25+ on immunophenotype
  • DBA.44+, Cyclin D1+, and Annexin A1+ on immunohistochemistry
  • Presence of BRAF V600E mutation on cytogenetic tests
 
  • Occurs in approximately 5% of the cases
