T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia with cytoplasmic granules

Diversity of T-cell receptor Gene Rearrangements in South Indian Patients with Common Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Background: Precursor B-Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (precursor B-ALL) oc-curs due to the uncontrolled proliferation of B-lymphoid precursors arrested at a par-ticular stage of B-cell development. Precursor-B-ALL is classified mainly into pro-B-ALL, common-ALL and pre-B-ALL. The Common Acute Lymphoblastic Antigen CD10 is the marker for common-ALL. Objective: This study was aimed to examine the ...

DETERMINATION OF A SHARED EPITOPE ON CELLS FROM ACUTE MYELOGENIC LEUKEMIA (AML) AND T-ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA ( T-ALL)

Two IgM monoclonal antibodies (MAb) with strong reactivity for granulocytes and to a lesser extent for lurkat cell lines were established by immunizing BALBI c mice with a histiocytic cell line (UY37). These two MAbs (designated as 6C9 and 4C4) reacted with blast cells of T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) patients as well as leukemic cells from pat...

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis secondary to T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia with membranous tonsillitis

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening syndrome of excessive immune activation, which is characterized by fever, hepatosplenomegaly, cytopenias, hyperferritinemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and/or hypofibrinogenemia, and evidence of hemophagocytosis. Secondary HLH is often seen in adults and categorized based on autoimmune, infections-related, and malignancy-associated etiol...

Prolonged Vincristine Toxicity Induced by Concurrent Posaconazole in a Child with T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia with Burkitt cell morphology and cytoplasmic immunoglobulin.

A case of acute lymphoblastic leukemia with morphological characteristics of Burkitt's leukemia (L3 morphology) is presented. This patient's lymphoblasts were lacking in surface immunoglobulin, but were found to contain cytoplasmic IgM. This is the first report of a morphologically B-cell leukemia showing pre-B-cell characteristics immunologically.
