Hairy Cell Leukemia

Cytochemistry and Ultrastructure (TEM) in Diagnosis

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Developments in Oncology Series ((DION,volume 14))

Abstract

Hairy cell leukemia is characterized by the demonstration of the pathognomonic hairy cell (HC) in blood and bone marrow. With Wright-giemsa stain those cells have an appearance typified by line cytoplasmic projections [7, 9]. This distinctive feature can be more clearly demonstrated on living cells with phase-contrast microscopy [2].
