Chronic myelogenous leukemia showing biphenotypic blast crisis followed by lineage switch to B lymphoblastic leukemia.

چکیده
Lineage switch is a very rare event in blastic crisis of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML-BC). To our knowledge, only three cases of lineage switch between lymphoid and myeloid/myelomonocytic lineages have been reported in the literature. Here, we report a novel case of imatinib-resistant CML-BC, in which the blast lineage switched from biphenotypic to B-lymphoid.

Flow Cytometry in Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Blast Crisis
Background: Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder due to BCR-ABL1 translocation. Patients showing transformation into blast crisis (BC) have poorer treatment response and prognosis. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in the department of Pathology, Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi, India, over a time period of 5 years (2014-2019) to evaluate the ...
متن کاملUsefulness of anti-CD117 in the flow cytometric analysis of acute leukemia.
We assessed the diagnostic usefulness of adding anti-CD117 to our existing flow cytometric profile in the analysis of 150 consecutive cases of acute leukemia (de novo or relapsed acute myelogenous leukemia [AML], AML arising in myelodysplastic syndrome, blast crisis of chronic myelogenous leukemia [CML], acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute unclassifiable leukemia, and biphenotypic leukemia). CD...
متن کاملSeparation of lymphoid and myeloid blasts in the mixed blast crisis of chronic myelogenous leukemia: no evidence for Ig gene rearrangement in CALLA-positive blasts.
Recent studies suggest that lymphoid blast crisis cells of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) expressing the common acute lymphoblastic leukemia antigen (CALLA) are B precursor cells, based on the demonstration of immunoglobulin (Ig) gene rearrangement similar to common acute lymphocytic leukemia. There is little evidence to suggest whether the cells with similar lymphoid characteristics in the...
متن کاملOccurrence of the Common Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Antigen on Blast Cells of a Patient with Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia in Non - Lymphoid
Leukemias showing a conspicious lymphoid phenotype. ie. those that are HLA-DR positive. common acute lymphoblastic antigen (cALLA) positive. terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) negative, as well as myeloperoxidase positive (MPO). could be considered so-called mixed leukemias. Leukemias with biphenotypic blasts have to be distinguished from cases comprising two separate subpopulations th...
متن کاملLineage Switch in Childhood Leukemia: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Acute leukemia which is the most common cancer in children is a heterogeneous group of clonal malignancies. The conversion of the leukemic cell lineage during the course of the disease or later is termed lineage switch. It has been rarely reported in the literature. In leukemia lineage switch, conversions from lymphoblastic leukemia to myeloid leukemia or vice versa are reported. Herein, we rep...
