The cells show characteristic hair-like cytoplasmic projections. A normal red blood cell shows comparative size. Leukaemia is a type of cancer in which the blood-producing tissue in bone marrow produces excessive numbers of immature white blood cells,impairing the function of normal blood cells. Hairy cell leukaemia is a rare form of leukaemia that mostly affects men. Most patients survive for five years after diagnosis and some survive for more than ten.
