Eosinophilic Leukemia

I N SPITE of the rarity of eosinophilic leukemia, many investigators have reported a number of morphologic alterations of the eos nophils present in the blood and/or bone marrow of patients with eosinophilic leukemia.6’1 ‘ 13.1 6, 18, 19,21 ,24,26,293 I ,34,36,39,40,42,45,4753 The cytologic alterations have included a sparcity of eosinophilic granulation in the mature eosinophils, asynchronous ...

Eosinophilic Leukemia: Case Report

Scarsdale, New York Cornell Vet 57(4) :579-597, 1967 Eosinophilic leukemia seems to be as rare in quadrupeds as in man. It has been reported in a pig, associated with whitish nodules in the kidney, and in an 8-year-old castrated cat which had a WBC count of 150,000 with 73% eosinophils. This cat lost energy, had vomiting and diarrhea with moderate anemia. and enlargement of the spleen and liver...

Chronic eosinophilic leukemia

Chronic eosinophilic leukaemia (CEL) is a rare myeloproliferative disorder of unknown etiology characterized by an autonomous, clonal proliferation of eosinophilic precursors resulting in persistently increased number of eosinophils in the peripheral blood and bone marrow. There is vaguely overlapping clinico – pathological picture of CEL with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) which o...

Chronic eosinophilic leukemia with a unique translocation.

We report a case of chronic eosinophilic leukemia in a 9 year old girl who presented with anemia, thrombocytopenia, leucocytosis (mostly dysplastic eosinophils), lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly. There was no increase in blasts but myelofibrosis was seen in the bone marrow. A previously unreported translocation 46,XX,t(1;4)(q24;q35), was found on cytogenetic analysis and involvement of th...
