We describe the clinical-biological features of 63 cases of variant B chronic lymphocytic leukemia (v-B-CLL), characterized by a mantle cell lymphoma-like immunophenotype, atypical cytomorphology in absence of t(11;14)(q13;q32) in FISH analysis. A historical series of 130 B-CLL was used as comparison. The v-B-CLL were significantly different from the B-CLL in terms of the following clinico-hematological variables: age <70 yrs (p <.001), lymphocytosis … Show more
