متن کاملHairy cell leukemia-variant.
Hairy cell leukaemia variant is a very rare chronic lymphoproliferative disorder and is closely related to hairy cell leukemia. We hereby describe a case of hairy cell leukaemia variant for the first time in Saudi Arabia. An elderly Saudi man presented with pallor, massive splenomegaly, and moderate hepatomegaly. Hemoglobin was 7.7 g/dl, Platelets were 134 x109/l and white blood count was 140x1...
متن کاملHairy cell leukemia: a tumor of pre-plasma cells.
Monoclonal antibodies defining B-, T-, and myeloid-restricted cell surface antigens were used to characterize the lineage and state of differentiation of tumor cells isolated from 22 patients with hairy cell leukemia (HCL). These tumors were shown to be of B lineage because they strongly expressed the B cell-restricted antigens B1 and B4 and lacked T cell- and monocyte-restricted antigens. More...
متن کاملDetection of BRAF mutations in patients with hairy cell leukemia and related lymphoproliferative disorders.
Hairy cell leukemia has been shown to be strongly associated with the BRAF V600E mutation. We screened 59 unenriched archived bone marrow aspirate and peripheral blood samples from 51 patients with hairy cell leukemia using high resolution melting analysis and confirmatory Sanger sequencing. The BRAF V600E mutation was detected in 38 samples (from 36 patients). The BRAF V600E mutation was detec...
متن کاملClinical implications of increased plasma levels of CD8 in patients with hairy cell leukemia.
Plasma levels of soluble T-suppressor/cytotoxic antigen (sCD8) were measured at diagnosis or before systemic treatment in 69 patients with hairy cell leukemia (HCL). The 49 nonsplenectomized patients were characterized by high concentrations of sCD8 antigen as compared with 17 controls (P less than .0001). The median sCD8 level in non-splenectomized patients was 1,050 U/mL (range: 160 to 2,400 ...
