Overview
- Hairy cell leukemia may be classified into two subtypes: Hairy cell leukemia (classic) and hairy cell leukemia variant.[1]
Classification
- Hairy cell leukemia may be classified into two subtypes: Hairy cell leukemia (classic) and hairy cell leukemia variant.[1]
- Hairy cell leukemia variant is still considered a provisional entity at this time, as the WHO is unable to recognize it as distinct diseases due to insufficient evidence.[2]
- The algorithm below illustrates characteristic findings associated with each subtypes:[3]
