![Hairy cell Hairy cell](/fileadmin/media/f100/images/CellImages/Hairy_cell.png)
Cell description:
Size: larger than normal lymphocytes
Nucleus: round, oval, dumbbell-shaped or bilobed with little chromatin condensation and sometimes indistinct nucleolus
Cytoplasm: abundant weakly basophilic with irregular “hairy” margins

![Hairy cell leukaemia Hairy cell leukaemia](/fileadmin/media/f100/images/CellImages/2009_12_figure3_hires.jpg)
Peripheral blood (May-Grünwald-Giemsa stain) of a patient with hairy cell leukaemia. A typical hairy cell (->) can easily be distinguished from a normal lymphocyte (lower right).

![Hairy cell leukaemia Hairy cell leukaemia](/fileadmin/media/f100/images/CellImages/2007_12_figure5_hires.jpg)
Hairy cell from a hairy cell leukaemia. Typical are the monocytic type nuclei with loose chromatin, and the grey-blue, heterogeneous cytoplasm. The hairy protrusions may be missing in some cases.

![Hairy lymphocyte Hairy lymphocyte](/fileadmin/media/f100/images/CellImages/2007_12_figure4_hires.jpg)
This 'hairy' lymphocyte comes from a person suffering from an active infection (without any malignant disease). The granula identify it as a T or an NK cell.

![HbH cell HbH cell](/fileadmin/media/f100/images/CellImages/2007_05_figure5_hires.jpg)
Reticulocyte staining. Characteristic HbH cell in a case of α-thalassaemia. Today, blood films are no longer investigated for HbH cells. Instead,
α-thalassaemias are diagnosed by molecular genetic tests.
