Hypocalcemia
Corresponds to acute myeloid leukemia with neutrophilic maturation; also known as core binding factor leukemia
- AML with t(8:21)
Correspond to acute myelomonocytic leukemia with abnormal eosinophils: eosinophils are increased and have large basophilic granules
AML with inv(16)
- Promyelocytes predominate in the Bone marrow;
- Azurophillic granules are abundant
- Multiple Auer rods are usually present
- DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation) is common
AML with t(15;17)
Rare leukemia (6% of AML cases) that presents with an increase in monoblasts and immature monoctyes
AML with t(9;11)
- Associated with multilineage dysplasia and basophilia of marrow and blood
- shows variable morphology and granulocytic and/or monocytic differentiation
AML with t(6;9)
Shows multilineage dysplasia, increased atypical megakaryocytes with monolobed or bilobed nuclei, and normal to increased platelet counts.
AML with inv(3)
Presenting as acute megakaryoblastic leukemia with hepatosplenomegaly
Acute leukemia of infants and young children, often reported in girls
AML with t(1;22)
25-75% of childhood leukemia (2-5 years of age)
ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA (ALL)
ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA (ALL)
25% of childhood ALL cases show the genetic abnormality; _____ derived from a B cell progenitor
t(12:21)
