Definition / general
- 1 of 7 isoenzymes with different tissue distribution
- TRAP is found in hairy cell leukemia; other acid phosphatases are found in red blood cells, prostate, white blood cell lysosomes
- Sensitive and relatively specific for hairy cell leukemia when combined with DBA.44 positivity (Am J Surg Pathol 2005;29:474)
Positive staining - normal
- B lymphocytes of marginal zone, osteoclasts
Positive staining - disease
- Hairy cell leukemia, mantle cell lymphoma (57%), splenic marginal zone lymphoma (some), primary mediastinal B cell lymphoma (54%), CLL / SLL (41%), giant cells in giant cell tumor of bone and soft tissue (Hum Pathol 2005;36:945)
