title: Extensive infiltration of bone with marrow necrosis in a case of hairy cell leukaemia.
abstract: This 32-year-old patient with hairy cell leukaemia demonstrated extensive bony involvement in a pattern not previously described. Although the disease continued to progress during interferon treatment, a change to a regime of deoxycoformycin resulted in an excellent response.
