Overview

NCI Definition: A malignant B-cell lymphoproliferative process affecting the blood, bone marrow, and spleen. The B-prolymphocytes are medium-sized, round lymphoid cells with prominent nucleoli. The B-prolymphocytes must exceed 55% of lymphoid cells in the blood. Cases of transformed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and CLL with increased prolymphocytes are excluded. The prognosis is poor. (WHO, 2001) [1]
