Overview
B-cell prolymphocytic leukemia arises from mature B-cells, which are hematologic white cells that are normally involved in the in the humoral immunity component of the adaptive immune system by secreting antibodies.
Pathophysiology
Genetics
- Genetic mutations like mutation or loss of p53 is thought to play a role.[1]
- 11q23 and 13q14 deletions are associated with B cell prolymphocytic leukemia.[2][3]
- t(11;14) translocation rembles the mutation of mantle cell lymphoma, which makes it harder for the clinicians to distinguish the two entities.[4]
- It can involve deletions from chromosome 11 and chromosome 13.[5]
Markers
- B-cell prolymphocytic leukemia cells are positive for B cell maerkers such as CD19, CD20, CD22.[6]
- CD23 is negative but CD5 is expressed in one third tumor cells population.[7]
- Another case was described as CD45+, CD19+, CD20+, CD5+, HLA-DR+, CD10-, CD23+/-, CD38+ and FMC7[8]
- Tumor cells express surface IgM proteins.
Microscopic pathology
- The originating cell line for B-cell prolymphocytic leukemia is a mature B-cells and are medium sized cells.
- More than 50 percent of the circulating cells in the peripheral blood are prolymphocytes.
- The nucleus is typically round or oval, and the cytoplasm is usually moderately abundant.
- Leukemic cells can be found in peripheral blood, lymph nodes, bone marrow, spleen, liver, and skin.[9]<ref name="pmid2182602">{{cite journal |vauthors=Stone RM |title=Prolymphocytic leukemia |journal=Hematol.
