Destructive bone involvement is a rarely recognized complication of hairy‐cell leukemia (leukemic reticuloendotheliosis). We report a case in which localized hip pain and lytic bone lesions were the presenting manifestations. A second case of bone involvement in a patient with previously diagnosed hairy‐cell leukemia is also described. These cases are compared with the nine cases of hairy‐cell leukemia with bone involvement previously published in the medical literature.
