Abstract
We report here the case of a woman with acute myeloid leukemia with some blast cells exhibiting acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL)-like hypergranular cytoplasm. The cytologic and cytochemical aspects as well as the mature myeloid phenotype and hemostasis disorders were consistent with the diagnosis of APL. However, no t(15;17), or RARalpha gene, MLL gene or PML gene rearrangement was observed, or any other cytogenetic clonal abnormality. Coexpression on blast cells of CD33 and CD56 without CD34, CD16 or HLA-DR, suggested a myeloid/natural killer cell acute leukemia.Entities:
