title: [Multiple bone localizations in hair cell leukemia. Efficacy of treatment with alpha 2 interferon].
abstract: We report a case of hairy cell leukemia with multiple bone lesions (skull, tibia, spine, femoral head) clinically, radiologically, and histologically documented. Radiotherapy failed to improve tibial pain. Treatment with alpha interferon resulted in bone pain improvement. Diagnoses and therapy strategies of these unusual features are discussed with respect cases to previously published in the literature.
