Abstract
Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a rare indolent B-cell neoplasmwith distinct morphologic and immunophenotypic features. Immunophenotypically, the neoplastic cells in HCL are strongly positive for B-cell markers, such as CD19, CD20, and CD22. They also characteristically express CD11c, CD25, CD103, and CD123, but lack CD5, CD10, and CD23. Uncommon immunophenotypes of HCL can pose diagnostic challenges. Here, we report 2 unusual cases of CD5-positive and CD10-positive HCL.
