Hairy cell leukemia and Sweet syndrome are both uncommon hematological diagnoses. We present a patient who was admitted with fevers, pancytopenia, pneumonia, and rash. Diagnostic bone marrow biopsy demonstrates Hairy cell Leukemia and skin biopsy demonstrates neutrophils infiltration consistent with Sweet syndrome. The patient was treated with purine analogs with resolution of the cytopenias, infection, and rash.

Abstract Nine patients with progressive hairy cell leukemia were treated with subcutaneous injections of recombinant alpha 2 interferon (2 to 10 X 10(6) U/m2) three times weekly. Eight patients completed at least eight weeks of treatment and were evaluable; one patient with refractory thrombocytopenia died of an intracerebral hemorrhage after two doses of interferon. Seven of eight patients responded, with responses occurring as early as two weeks. Four patients also had resolution of their monocytopenia. No complete responses were seen with up to 30 weeks of treatment. Bone marrow biopsies demonstrated improvement in all eight patients. No unforeseen toxicity occurred, but most patients had transient myelosuppression during the first few weeks of treatment. Recombinant alpha 2 interferon is effective in the treatment of hairy cell leukemia, with acceptable toxicity.

Abstract Ten patients with progressive hairy cell leukemia were treated with 2′deoxycoformycin (dCF) by intravenous bolus (4 mg/m2) given every other week. All ten patients are evaluable for response and nine of the ten patients have achieved a complete remission. In addition to clearing of hairy cells from the bone marrow, eight patients had resolution of their monocytopenia. Seven of the nine patients remain in unmaintained remission with a median duration of 6.2 months. Two patients have had relapse in the bone marrow alone and continue to have normal peripheral blood counts. They are being followed without treatment. Toxicity was minimal at this low dose with one patient having a mild reversible reduction in creatinine clearance. Four other patients had reversible neutropenia. There were no significant infections associated with treatment. Low-dose deoxycoformycin administered intravenously every other week represents an extremely effective treatment for hairy cell leukemia.

Abstract We describe two patients with a new clinical pathologic syndrome of diffuse osteosclerosis in association with hairy cell leukemia. In both patients bone marrow biopsies could not be obtained due to extremely hard bones and inability to insert the biopsy needle; neither patient had a history of bony pain or fracture. The osteosclerotic process in one patient stabilized after successful treatment of her hairy cell leukemia with interferon alpha and deoxycoformycin suggesting that the osteosclerosis observed was related to the underlying malignant disease. Possible etiologic mechanisms are discussed.
