AML genetic abnormality predominant in younger patients
AML with t(8;21) (q22;q22)
AML with inv (16) (p13q22) or t(16;16) (p13;q22)
AML with inv (16) (p13q22) or t(16;16) (p13;q22) is ________ % of AML cases
10%
AML with t(15;17) (q22;q12) or acute promyelocytic leukemia
is _______% of AML cases
5%
AML with 11q23 abnormalities are ________% of AML cases
5%
AML with genetic abnormality occurring at any age but more common in CHILDREN
AML with 11q23 abnormalities
Has Blasts – typically
large, with abundant
basophilic cytoplasm, often with Auer rods and numerous, sometimes very large azurophilic granules
AML with t(8;21)
(q22;q22)
Bone marrow usually has elements of both granulocytic and monocytic differentiation combined with abnormal eosinophils
AML with inv (16)
(p13q22) or
t(16;16) (p13;q22)
Eosinophil precursors contain abnormally large, purple granules
that can be sufficiently
numerous to obscure the nuclei
AML with inv (16)
(p13q22) or
t(16;16) (p13;q22)
Abnormal promyelocytes are present, either hypergranular or hypogranular (microgranular)
AML with t(15;17) (q22;q12)
or acute promyelocytic
leukemia
In the hypergranular form,
the cytoplasm is packed with
pink, red, or purple granules
that are usually large, but
may be fine.
AML with t(15;17) (q22;q12)
or acute promyelocytic
leukemia
Bundles of Auer rods are
present in most cases; the
nuclei, which may be bilobed,
are irregular in size and
variable in shape and maybe
reniform (kidney-shaped)
AML with t(15;17) (q22;q12)
or acute promyelocytic
leukemia
most common morphologic pattern of AML with 11q23 abnormalities
Monocytic differentiation, with monoblasts and promonocytes
predominating
Patients may have gum
infiltration, and DIC
AML with 11q23
abnormalities
In 11q23, these are large
cells with round nuclei
that usually contain lacy
chromatin and large
prominent nucleoli
Monoblasts
