    Author: Quan Q.
    Journal: Zhongguo Yi Xue Ke Xue Yuan Xue Bao; 1992 Oct; 14(5):386-8. PubMed ID: 1299545.
    Abstract:
    This paper reports the experimental diagnosis of hairy cell leukemia and the results of splenectomy in 4 cases. Three patients were examined using histochemical methods and anti-leukocyte differentiation monoclonal antibodies. All of them were diagnosed as hairy cell leukemia of B lymphocytes. The effects of splenectomy were found to be related to chemotherapy used before and after operation. Hairy cell leukemia complicated with megalosplenia or hypersplenism were indications for splenectomy.
