Overview
Hairy cell leukemia is found to approximately comprise 2% of all leukemias in the United States. The incidence of hairy cell leukemia is approximately 3.2 per 1,000,000 individuals in the United States. The incidence of hairy cell leukemia increases with age.Males are more commonly affected with hairy cell leukemia than females.
Epidemiology and Demographics

- For the past 30 years, the incidence of hairy cell leukemia has been relatively constant.
Age
- The incidence of hairy cell leukemia increases with age.
- The median age at diagnosis of hairy cell leukemia is 50 to 55 years.[6][7]
Gender
- Males are more commonly affected with hairy cell leukemia than females.
- The male to female ratio is approximately 4 to 1.[8]
