French SUBGROUP - American - British (FAB) classification AML Flashcards
M0
AML, Minimally Differentiated
β Blasts having CD13, CD33, CD34 and CD117
β No Evidence of Cellular Maturation of Blasts
M0 (AML, Minimally Differentiated)
β Auer Rods (-), Myeloperoxidase (-), Sudan Black B (-)
β Less than 5% of All AML
M0 (AML, Minimally Differentiated)
Patients are usually infants or older adults
M0 (AML, Minimally Differentiated)
M1
(AML, Without Maturation)
β Blasts having CD13, CD33, CD34 and CD117 similar with those of M0
β 90% of Cells in BM are BLASTS
β Found in All Age Groups with Highest Incidence in Adults
M1 (AML, Without Maturation)
β Has No Male or Female Predominance
M1
β Nuclear:Cytoplasmic Maturational Asynchrony
β Morphologically - Nucleus appears more immature than Cytoplasm
β Functionally - Leukemic Blasts exhibits Phagocytosis w/c is a property only of a Mature WBC
M1 (AML, Without Maturation)
β Auer Rods (+), Myeloperoxidase (+), Sudan Black B (+)
β Chloroacetate Esterase (+), Acetate Esterase (-)
M1 (AML, Without Maturation)
β Greater than 20% Type I and II Blasts in Bone Marrow
β At least 10% Granulocyte @ Various Stages of Maturation
β Distinguished from M1 by Presence of Granulocytic Cells At or Beyond the Promyelocytic Stage of Maturation
M2 (AML, With Maturation)
β CharacteristicGINGIVALBLEEDING
β Pseudo-Pelger-Huet (+) - Rod-Shaped or Dumbbell-Shaped or Nonsegmented Nuclei
M2 (AML, With Maturation)
β Hypogranular Neutrophils (+) - Leads to Deficient Phagocytosis,
Deficient Microbial Killing and Deficient Chemotaxis
M2 (AML, With Maturation)
β Auer Rods (+), MPO (+) and SBB (+)
β Aspects of Dysplasia are present
M2 (AML, With Maturation)
β AKA Hypergranular Promyelocytic Leukemia
β Found in all age groups similar to M1 and M2
β Greater Predilection for Males
β Frequently more associated with DIC
M3 (Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia)
β Abnormal Promyelocytes with Heavy Granulation
β Presents with Leukopenia
β Auer Rods (+) and Intensely Positive for MPO and SBB
β Faggot Cells (+)
β Reniform or Bilobed Nuclei
M3 (Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia)
M3
(Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia)
(Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia)
M3
Subunit of M3
M3m (Microgranular Promyelocytic Leukemia)
β numerous granules present but can only be detected by electron microscopy hence the term βMICROGRANULARβ
β Has Worse Prognosis than M3 due to Initial High Blast Counts
M3m (Microgranular Promyelocytic Leukemia)
Caused by a Chromosomal Translocation t(15;17)
M3m (Microgranular Promyelocytic Leukemia)
M4
(Acute Myelomonocytic Leukemia)
β AKA Naegeli Monocytic Leukemia
β Positive for Myeloid Antigens - CD13 and CD33
β Positive for Monocytic Antigens - CD4, 11b, 11c, 14, 36, 64
M4 (Acute Myelomonocytic Leukemia)
