AML Flashcards
Acute Monocytic Leukemia:
-Diagnostic Criteria
<80% of monocytic cells are Monoblasts
What is diGuglielmo syndrome?
Acute Erythroid Leukemia
Acute Monocytic/Monoblastic Leukemia:
-Diagnostic Criteria
Monocytic differentiation in >80% of nonerythroid cells
-Includes: monoblasts, promonocytes, and monocytes
This AML with recurrent cytogenetics is common in children and has a poor prognosis. The blasts show monoblastic differentiation and are positive for CD4, CD11b, CD14, CD64, and lysozyme (CD34 Negative!).
AML w/ t(9;11) [AML w/ MLL gene anomalies]
AML, with Maturation:
-Blasts (3)
> 10% Blasts
- Monocytic differentiation in <20% of nonerythroid cells)
- Frequent Auer Rods/Cytoplasmic Granulations
Acute Megakaryoblastic Leukemia (FAB M7):
-Diagnostic Criteria
> 50% Megakaryocytic Blasts:
-PPO Technique (EM staining for Peoxidase)
or
-CD41/CD61 Positive
AML, NOS, Minimally DIfferentiated:
-Blasts (3)
<3% Blasts stain w/ SBB, MPO, NSE
- Agranular Cytoplasm
- Myeloid differentiation only by Immunophenotyping
AML w/ t(8;21) (q22;q22):
-IHC Positive for (6)
- CD13
- CD19
- CD33
- CD34
- CD56
- HLA-DR.
Which AML subtype affects younger patients and oftern manifests as soft tissue infiltration (gingival, CNS)?
Acute Monocytic/Monoblastic Leukemia
AML with inv(16) - [t(16;16)(p13;q22)] - Morphology:
-Blasts
Mylomonocytic differentiation w/ Abnormal Eosinophils
This AML subtype is associated with mediastinal germ cell tumors and I(12p). The blasts express CD41 and CD61.
Acute Megakaryoblastic Leukemia (FAB M7)
AML with t(15;17) [APML]:
-t(15;17) results in what?
Juxtaposition of the Retinoic Acid Receptor (RARa) gene and the PML gene
Acute Erythroid Leukemia - Erythroleukemia subtype:
-Diagnostic Criteria (2)
> 50% of all nucleated cells are Erythroids
>20% of nonerythroids are Myeloblasts
Acute Erythroid Leukemia Subtypes.
- Erythroleukemia
- Pure Erythroid Leukemia
Criteria for AML with Myelodysplasia Related Changes:
- At least (1)
- And one of (3)
- And Absence of (2)
Criteria for AML with Myelodysplasia Related Changes:
- At least:
- 20% blasts - And one of:
- Hx of MDS
- MDS Related Cytogenetic Abnormality
- Multilineage Dysplasia (>50% of 2 cell lines) - And Absence of:
- Prior Cytotoxic Chemotherapy
- Any AML w/ RGAs
AML with t(15;17) [APML]:
- Variant Translocations
- Treatment
t(11;17) and t(5;17)
-Insensitive to ATRA
AML: 4 Major Categories
- Recurrent Genetic Abnormalities
- Therapy Related
- w/ Myelodysplasia related changes
- NOS
What are the subtypes of AML, NOS? (3)
- Minimally Differentiated
- Without Maturation
- with Maturation
