Is it true that a tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) stain can confirm the diagnosis of hairy cell leukemia?

Yes. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining and immunohistochemistry are well-established diagnostic tools used to confirm hairy cell leukemia.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 3 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently supports the premise that tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) serves as a classic and reliable diagnostic marker for hairy cell leukemia, both through traditional cytochemical staining and modern immunohistochemistry.
