[Cytology and immunophenotype features of hairy cell leukemia: 6 cases].
BACKGROUND
Hairy cell leukemia is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder.


OBJECTIVE
with cytological and immunophenotypic features.


METHODS
We report 6 cases of hairy cell leukemia diagnosed in the Biological Department of Hematology at the Aziza Othmana Hospital of Tunis.


RESULTS
Hairy cells was observed in blood smears of 5 cases. Flow cytometry analysis shown monoclonal a monoclonal population B while gatinting on the expression of the CD19 and SSC signal. The positivity of the CD103 is noted in 5 cases and the CD11c signal is intense in all the cases.


CONCLUSIONS
Immunophenotype is of great interest in the diagnosis of hairy cell leukemia.
