Chronic lymphocytic leukemia arises from pre-follicular center [[B cell]]s, that are normally involved in the process of human [[immunoglobulin]]s 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 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 [[nucleoli]], and presence of smudge cells.<ref name="wiki">Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (2015) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-cell_chronic_lymphocytic_leukemia Accessed on October 12, 2015</ref><ref name="pmid25461996">{{cite journal| author=Nabhan C, Rosen ST| title=Chronic lymphocytic leukemia: a clinical review. | journal=JAMA | year= 2014 | volume= 312 | issue= 21 | pages= 2265-76 | pmid=25461996 | doi=10.1001/jama.2014.14553 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=25461996  }} </ref><ref name="pmid25908509">{{cite journal| author=Hallek M| title=Chronic lymphocytic leukemia: 2015 Update on diagnosis, risk stratification, and treatment. | journal=Am J Hematol | year= 2015 | volume= 90 | issue= 5 | pages= 446-60 | pmid=25908509 | doi=10.1002/ajh.23979 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=25908509  }} </ref><ref name="patho">Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.

Overview

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia arises from pre-follicular center B cells, that are normally involved in the process of human immunoglobulins 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 nucleoli, and presence of smudge cells.[1][2][3][4]
