[Hairy cell leukemia: pathomorphology, cytology and cytochemistry]. 1981

M Várbiró, and T Burger, and K Minik, and L István

In 10 cases of hairy cell leukaemia histological, cytological, cytochemical and in some of the cases immunocytological investigations were carried out. In addition to clinical, cytological and cytochemical findings arising suspicion of hairy cell leukaemia, in three cases the multifocal reaction of acid-phosphatase appeared to be tartarate sensitive (at the concentration of L+-tartaric acid--0,75%), indicating in accordance with findings of Burns et al. (9), that tartarate resistency of the acid-phosphatase reaction ("isoenzyme 5" Katayama és mtsai, 24) has no absolute diagnostic significance. Pathomorphological investigation of different tissues (spleen, lymph node, bone marrow, liver) has revealed the characteristic localization of the spleen infiltrates (cords of Billroth) and the formation of the so called pseudosinuses. These morphological findings may contribute to the diagnosis of hairy cell leukaemia.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007943 Leukemia, Hairy Cell A neoplastic disease of the lymphoreticular cells which is considered to be a rare type of chronic leukemia; it is characterized by an insidious onset, splenomegaly, anemia, granulocytopenia, thrombocytopenia, little or no lymphadenopathy, and the presence of "hairy" or "flagellated" cells in the blood and bone marrow. Hairy Cell Leukemia,Leukemic Reticuloendotheliosis,Reticuloendotheliosis, Leukemic,Hairy Cell Leukemias,Leukemias, Hairy Cell,Leukemic Reticuloendothelioses,Reticuloendothelioses, Leukemic
D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D008297 Male Males
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
