    Hairy cell leukemia diagnosis can be challenging for pathologists due to spleen morphology not always showing characteristic features. Hemocytomorphology and cytochemistry are crucial for accurate identification of this rare leukemia.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Pathology
    • Oncology

    Context:

    • Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) presents diagnostic challenges, particularly when spleen morphology is atypical.
    • Splenomegaly is a common initial sign, often leading to splenectomy before a definitive diagnosis.
    • Traditional histological examination of spleen tissue may not reveal the characteristic 'hairy' cytoplasmic projections.

    Purpose:

    • To highlight the diagnostic difficulties in identifying hairy cell leukemia based solely on spleen morphology.
    • To emphasize the critical role of hemocytomorphology and cytochemistry in diagnosing HCL.
    • To underscore the importance of these techniques when splenectomy precedes definitive pathological assessment.

    Summary:

    • This report details two cases of hairy cell leukemia (HCL).

  • It notes that spleen morphology in HCL can be misleading, lacking clear 'hairy' cell features upon standard histological review.
  • Hemocytomorphology and cytochemistry are presented as essential for accurate diagnosis, especially when splenomegaly is the primary clinical finding.

    • Impact:

    • Improved diagnostic accuracy for hairy cell leukemia in pathological settings.
    • Enhanced understanding of HCL presentation, aiding clinicians and pathologists.
    • Reduced misdiagnosis by stressing the importance of specific hematological analysis over solely morphological spleen examination.
