An adult case of acute biphenotypic leukemia with characteristic mixed morphology.
1993
: A case of acute biphenotypic leukemia with mixed blast morphology and combined myeloid and T-lymphoid features is reported. The leukemic cells consisted of small lymphoid hand-mirror blasts and large blasts with cytoplasmic granules and rare Auer rods. The cells expressed myeloid and immature T-lymphoid features by cytochemistry and immunophenotyping, however T cell receptor genes were in germline configuration. Cases of biphenotypic leukemia with similar morphological and immunophenotypic findings have been described previously in children. This case represents a morphologically and phenotypically distinct subtype of acute biphenotypic leukemia.
