prolymphocytic leukemia: a clinico-pathological study

The clinical histopathological and histochemical features of ten patients with prolymphocytic leukemia were reviewed. Seven of the patients had clinical evidence of massive splenomegaly at the time of the diagnosis. None of the patients had significant lymph nodes enlargement. The initial leucocyte count was elevated in all patients and was greater than 100 * 10[9]/1 in eight of them. The absolute prolymphocyte count range from 18.4 to 395.3 * 10[9]/1 and was greater than 100 * 10[9]/1 in eight patients
