==Overview==
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia arises from pre-follicular, center [[B cell]]s, that are normally involved in the process of human [[immunoglobulin]] production. Development of chronic lymphocytic leukemia is the result of multiple [[genetic mutation]]s that promote both [[malignant]] leukemic [[proliferation]] and [[apoptotic]] [[resistance]] of mature [[B cells]]. Structural [[genetic mutation]]s involved in the [[pathogenesis]] of chronic lymphocytic leukemia include [[chromosome]] 13q deletion, [[chromosome 17]]<nowiki/>p deletion, and [[chromosome 11]]<nowiki/>q deletion. On [[microscopic]] [[histopathological]] analysis, characteristic findings of chronic lymphocytic leukemia include small [[lymphoid]] cells, thin [[cytoplasmic]] border, lack of [[nucleolus]], and the presence of [[Smudge cells|smudge]] cells.


==Pathophysiology==
CLL affects a particular lymphocyte, the [[B cell]], which originates in the bone marrow, develops in the lymph nodes, and normally fights infection. In CLL, the DNA of a B cell is damaged, so that it can't fight infection, but it grows out of control and crowds out the healthy blood cells that can fight infection.


CLL is an abnormal neoplastic proliferation of B cells. The cells accumulate mainly in the bone marrow and blood. CLL is closely related to a disease called [[small lymphocytic lymphoma]] (SLL), a type of [[non-Hodgkin's lymphoma]] which presents primarily in the [[lymph nodes]]. The [[World Health Organization]] considers CLL and SLL to be "one disease at different stages, not two separate entities".<ref name="pmid10577857">{{cite journal |author=Harris NL, Jaffe ES, Diebold J, ''et al'' |title=World Health Organization classification of neoplastic diseases of the hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues: report of the Clinical Advisory Committee meeting-Airlie House, Virginia, November 1997 |journal=J.

**Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is defined as clonal [[proliferation]] of incompetent [[B-cells]].
**Chronic lymphocytic leukemia arises from pre-follicular, center [[B cell]]s that are normally involved in the process of [[human]] [[immunoglobulin]]s production.
**Chronic lymphocytic leukemia [[Cell (biology)|cells]] are clonal [[B cells]], and their [[differentiation]] is halted between the pre-[[B cell|B cells]] and mature [[B cell|B cells]].
**Pre-[[malignant]] [[B cell]] [[proliferation]] precedes chronic lymphocytic leukemia/[[SLL|small lymphocytic leukemia]] and is known as [[Monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis|monoclonal B cell lymphocytosis]] ([[Monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis|MBL]]).
**There are multiple factors leading to production of [[Monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis|MBL]], which involves [[antigen]] stimulation, [[gene]] [[mutation]], environment factors, [[Immunology|immunologic]] and [[Cytogenetics|cytogenetic]] [[Modifications (genetics)|modifications]].
**Repeated results from these factors lead to advancement of [[Monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis|MBL]] to chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
**Most of the [[Patient|patients]] of chronic lymphocytic leukemia are asymptomatic, until the incompetent [[lymphocytes]] start to accumulate and infiltrate organ systems.
**[[Malignant]] [[lymphocytic]] [[Cell (biology)|cells]] infiltrate [[hematopoietic]] sites, such as the [[bone marrow]], where they [[Interference theory|interfere]] with the production of [[red blood cell]]s and [[platelet]]s.
**Chronic lymphocytic leukemia may also infiltrate the [[lymph node]]s, [[spleen]], and [[liver]].
**[[Immune deficiency]] may occur in chronic lymphocytic leukemia as the majority of cases develop [[hypogammaglobulinemia]].
**[[Warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia]] may develop due to the production of [[IgA]] and [[IgG]] [[autoantibodies]] among certain cases of chronic lymphocytic anemia.
**[[Autoimmune]] [[thrombocytopenia]] may develop due to the production of [[autoantibodies|auto-antibodies]].
**Production of [[cytokine]]s, [[angiogenic]] factors, and [[chemokine]]s by the surrounding [[macrophage]]s and [[T cell]]s provide important stimuli for [[malignant]] [[B cell]]s proliferation in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
**[[Richter's transformation]] represents the conversion of chronic lymphocytic leukemia into a more aggressive and rapidly growing [[large B cell lymphoma]].
**[[Richter's transformation]] may occur among 1-5% of chronic lymphocytic leukemia cases.


In the past, cases with similar microscopic appearance in the blood but with a T cell phenotype were referred to as T-cell CLL. However, it is now recognized that these so-called T-cell CLLs are in fact a separate disease group and are currently classified as [[T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia]]s.

[[Acute lymphocytic leukemia]] (ALL) is a disease of children, but CLL is a disease of adults. Most (>75%) people newly diagnosed with CLL are over age 50, and two-thirds are men. In the United States during 2007, it is estimated there will be 15,340 new cases diagnosed and 4,500 deaths<ref name="NCI-CLL-page1">{{cite web |url=http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/pdq/treatment/CLL/HealthProfessional/page1 |title=Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (PDQ®) Treatment: General Information |author=National Cancer Institute |accessdate=2007-09-04 |format= |work=}}</ref>, but because of prolonged survival, many more people are living with CLL.

Overview

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia arises from pre-follicular, center B cells, that are normally involved in the process of human immunoglobulin production. Development of chronic lymphocytic leukemia is the result of multiple genetic mutations that promote both malignant leukemic proliferation and apoptotic resistance of mature B cells. Structural genetic mutations involved in the pathogenesis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia include chromosome 13q deletion, chromosome 17p deletion, and chromosome 11q deletion. On microscopic histopathological analysis, characteristic findings of chronic lymphocytic leukemia include small lymphoid cells, thin cytoplasmic border, lack of nucleolus, and the presence of smudge cells.
