title: Hairy cell leukemia in pregnancy: a case report.
abstract: Hairy cell leukemia (leukemic reticuloendotheliosis) is a rare disease. No previously reported cases in pregnancy could be found with the use of available computer-assisted medical literature search programs. The pregnancy was complicated by progressive thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, and anemia that did not improve with delivery. The deterioration was eventually abated by postpartum splenectomy.
