The most common form (75% of cases) features medium-sized cells with a high nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio, moderately condensed chromatin, a single visible nucleolus, and slightly basophilic cytoplasm. In 20% of cases, the cells appear as a small cell variant with densely condensed chromatin and an inconspicuous nucleolus. About 5% of cases exhibit a cerebriform variant with irregular nuclei resembling those in mycosis fungoides. Regardless of the nuclear features, a common morphological characteristic is the presence of cytoplasmic protrusions or blebs.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Eichhorn|first=G.

Approximately 70-80% of T-PLL karyotypes are complex, which is considered minor diagnostic criteria, and usually include 3-5 or more structural aberrations. Common cytogenetic abnormalities include those of chromosome 8, such as idic(8)(p11.2), t(8;8)(p11.2;q12), and trisomy 8q. Other frequent changes are deletions in 12p13 and 22q, gains in 8q24 (MYC), and abnormalities in chromosomes 5p, 6, and 17. | |||
