Pathophysiology

It is postulated that the originating cell line for this disease is a mature B-cell. Due to the systemic nature of this disease, leukemic cells can be found in peripheral blood, lymph nodes, bone marrow, spleen, liver, skin.

Genetics

It can involve deletions from chromosome 11 and chromosome 13.[1]
