Summary
We describe a rare case of Western type hairy cell leukemia (HCL) in Japan, often missed due to preparation methods and pancytopenia. The patient presented with Evans syndrome, indicating complex immune dysregulation in HCL.
Area of Science:
- Hematology
- Oncology
- Immunology
Background:
- Western type hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is exceptionally rare in Japan.
- Diagnostic challenges include pancytopenia and loss of typical cell morphology with conventional preparation methods.
- HCL can be associated with immune dysregulation, including autoantibody production.

Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
