Context: Splenic B-cell lymphoma/leukemia with prominent nucleoli (SBLPN) aka hairy cell leukemia variant (HCL-v) is a rare B-cell chronic lymphoproliferative disorder. The main diagnostic challenge is to differentiate SBLPN from Classical hairy cell leukemia (HCL-c), as the former faces inferior responses to therapies and a poor prognosis.
Aims: The aim is to discuss the clinic-hematological and immunophenotyping findings of three cases of SBLPN.
Poornima Manimaran Plasma cell leukemia (PCL) is very uncommon and aggressive neoplasm constituting 2 to 4% of all plasma cell dyscrasias. By definition, clonal plasma cells should make up 20% of peripheral blood or have an absolute plasma cell count of 2 × 10 cells/cu.mm.

The current study summarises the distinct clinicopathological aspects of ETP-ALL and compares them with non-ETP-ALL. Twenty-nine ETP-ALL and 191 non-ETP-ALL cases were retrieved between 2018 and 2021.

The present study evaluated the clinical-hematological profile of HCL patients diagnosed at a single tertiary care center over a 11-year period.
Methods: The retrospective observational study was done between October 2010 and September 2021.

The survival of Ewing's sarcoma (ES) has improved due to advances in both local and systemic therapy. This has given rise to an increased detection of second malignant neoplasms which can be in the form of solid tumors and hematological malignancies. The most common hematological malignancies are acute myeloid leukemia/myelodysplastic syndrome.
