Since the initial report of the BRAF V600E mutation in hairy cell leukemia, numerous investigators have demonstrated the presence of this activating mutation in nearly all cases of this disease. A case of hairy cell leukemia is documented with a classical clinical, morphological, immunophenotypic, and cytochemical profile in which the BRAF V600E was not detected. The diagnostic and therapeutic implications are discussed.
自毛细胞白血病中BRAF V600E突变的首次报告以来,众多研究人员已证实在几乎所有该疾病病例中都存在这种激活突变。本文记录了一例具有典型临床、形态学、免疫表型和细胞化学特征的毛细胞白血病病例,其中未检测到BRAF V600E。文中讨论了其诊断和治疗意义。
