A father and son hairy cell leukemia are identified on the basis of tartrate‐resistant acid‐phosphatase‐positive hairy cells and diagnostic bone core biopsies. Personal interviews of the two patients revealed no evidence of consanguinity, primary immune deficiency, or common medication use. HLA typing revealed both patients to be A1,3 and B8,14.
