Résumé

Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a rare B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder. Skeletal involvement is an unusual manifestation of HCL, complicating the course of the disease in approximately 3% of patients. We describe a case of skull involvement by HCL, a localization rarely reported in the literature.
