Abstract

Abstract: Background: Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a rare indolent B-cell lymphoid malignancy. The majority of patients are asymptomatic and HCL is usually diagnosed incidentally during a routine blood cell counts. In symptomatic patients, typical symptoms are related to pancytope-nia and splenomegaly. In this review we present, rare clinical symptoms in patients with HCL. Methods: A literature search was conducted of PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar for articles concerning hairy cell leukemia, leukemia cutis, bone lesions, neurological manifesta-tions, pulmonary symptoms, ocular manifestations, cardiac manifestation, rare symptoms. Publications from January 1980 to August 2024 were scrutinized. Additional relevant publica-ions were obtained by reviewing the references from the chosen articles. Results: Extra medul-lary and extra nodal manifestations of classic HCL are rare. However, leukemic involvement in the skin, bone, central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, heart, kidney, liver, lung, ocular and other organs have been reported.
