1
Q

⮚ This category is a revision of the older FAB classification, with some deletions and additions

⮚ The classification depends on morphologic and cytochemical characteristics of the blasts and their degree of differentiation and
maturation

a. 1). Acute myeloid leukemia not otherwise categorized
b. AML with recurrent genetic abnormalities
c. AML with multilineage dysplasia
d.AML and myelodysplastic syndromes, therapy-related

A
