A distinctive pattern of alpha-naphthyl butyrate esterase positivity was observed in all of a series of 14 patients with HCL. This pattern was not observed in a range of other haematological malignancies including nine cases of CLL, two cases of Sézary's syndrome, six cases of null cell ALL, two cases of Schilling-type monocytic leukaemia and one case of lymphosarcoma cell leukaemia. The potential diagnostic value of this simple cytochemical test is discussed in relation to existing methods.
在一组14例毛细胞白血病（HCL）患者中均观察到一种独特的丁酸α-萘酯酶阳性模式。在一系列其他血液系统恶性肿瘤中未观察到这种模式，包括9例慢性淋巴细胞白血病（CLL）、2例Sezary综合征、6例无细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病（ALL）、2例希林型单核细胞白血病和1例淋巴肉瘤细胞白血病。结合现有方法讨论了这种简单细胞化学检测的潜在诊断价值。
