Particular ultrastructural aspects in some splenectomized cases of hairy cell leukemia.
Some peculiar ultrastructural aspects of hairy cells obtained from the examination with SEM and TEM are presented. Images of erythrocyte rosette-formation around hairy cells in spleen as well as some additional data on the biogenesis of ribosome-lamellae complexes are reported. Some considerations on the origin of hairy cells are added.
