Promyelocytic blast crisis of chronic myelogenous leukemia.

چکیده
A 26-year-old male was evaluated for chest pain and was found to have a white cell count of 63 000 per cubic millimeter, hemoglobin 10.5 g/dL, platelets 102 000 per L, with 18% blasts and promyelocytes (panel A). Bone marrow was hypercellular, with promyelocytes and myeloblasts (panel B), some with deeply clefted nuclei. This was morphologically consistent with acute promyelocytic leukemia hypergranular variant. However, FISH for t(15:17) translocation and variant translocations were negative. FISH and cytogenetics revealed t(9;22) translocation. A diagnosis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) blast crisis with promyelocytes was made. He had a complete hematologic, cytogenetic, and molecular remission after treatment with cytarabine, arabinoside, daunorubicin, and dasatinib and subsequent matched allogeneic bone marrow transplant.

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 کاملLactoferrin-deficient neutrophil polymorphonuclear leucocytes in leukaemias: a semiquantitative and ultrastructural cytochemical study.
Semiquantitative analysis of lactoferrin deficiency in neutrophil polymorphonuclear leucocytes in various haematological and non-haematological disease was carried out by scoring polymorphonuclear leucocytes stained for lactoferrin by the immunoperoxidase method. The staining patterns for lactoferrin were classified into four types (0-III) based on the intensity of reaction, and the sum of the ...
متن کامل“Chronic myelogenous leukemia in primary blast crisis” rather than “de novo BCR‐ABL1‐positive acute myeloid leukemia”
Differentiating chronic myelogenous leukemia in primary blast crisis (CML-BC) from de novo BCR-ABL1-positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a diagnostic challenge with therapeutic consequences. In our case, a basophilia, the presence of the Philadelphia chromosome in all metaphases and the strict exclusion of molecular hallmarks of AML lead us to retain the diagnosis of CML-BC rather than BCR-...
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 کاملChronic myelogenous leukemia: amplification of a rearranged c-abl oncogene in both chronic phase and blast crisis.
The specific genetic events that distinguish the blast crisis from the chronic phase cells of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) are unknown. The most common karyotypic change that occurs as CML evolves from chronic phase to blast crisis is the development of multiple Philadelphia (Ph1) chromosomes, each of which is presumably harboring a translocated c-abl oncogene. We describe here a patient ...
