✦ Synopsis


In 82 patients with B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia, the correlations between the histopathologic bone marrow patterns (interstitial, nodular, mixed, and diffuse), serum immunoglobulin (Ig), and blood B-lymphocyte levels and T-lymphocyte levels have been analyzed. The most commonly lowered Ig class was 1gM (43% of cases) followed by IgA (35%), and IgC (10%). There was a trend to a more frequent decrease of Ig levels when "advanced" bone marrow patterns (mixed + diffuse) were compared with the earlier ones (interstitial + nodular). The frequency of such a decrease was statistically significant for IgA class (P c 0.01). The absolute number of blood T-lymphocytes was increased in the diffuse pattern Cancer 54A47-451, 1984.

The available staging systems for B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) do not always predict the clinical course and the prognosis of the disease. In these systems, the pattern of bone marrow histology is not incorporated. In the current report we investigate the prognostic value of the diffuse or
