Acute Basophilic Leukemia – Causes, Symptoms, Treatment
Acute Basophilic Leukemia (ABL) is a rare and poorly characterized form of leukemia. A gastroscopy was conducted and indicated a gastric antral ulcer. The diagnosis of ABL was determined due to characteristic cytomorphological features, the myeloid immunophenotype of the blast Read More …
Acute Monoblastic Leukemia – Causes, Symptoms, Treatment
Acute monoblastic leukemia (AML-M5), is one of the most common subtypes of acute myeloid leukemia (AML; see this term) that is either comprised of more than 80% of monoblasts (AML-M5a) or 30-80% monoblasts with (pro)monocytic differentiation (AML-M5b). AML-M5 presents with Read More …
Acute Megacaryoblastic Leukemia – Symptoms, Treatment
Acute Megacaryoblastic Leukemia (AMKL) is a subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) characterized by abnormal megakaryoblasts that express platelet-specific surface glycoprotein. Bone marrow biopsy frequently demonstrates extensive myelofibrosis, often making aspiration in these patients difficult. AMKL is extremely rare in Read More …
Acute Erythroid Leukemia – Causes, Symptoms, Treatment
Acute Erythroid Leukemia/Acute Erythroleukemia is a rare form of acute myeloid leukemia recognized by its distinct phenotypic attribute of erythroblast proliferation. After a century of its descriptive history, many diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic implications relating to this unique leukemia subset Read More …
Acute Erythroleukemia – Causes, Symptoms, Treatment
Acute Erythroleukemia is a rare form of acute myeloid leukemia recognized by its distinct phenotypic attribute of erythroblast proliferation. After a century of its descriptive history, many diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic implications relating to this unique leukemia subset remain uncertain. Read More …
Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia – Symptoms, Treatment
Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia is a distinguished subset of acute myeloid leukemia which is characterized by fusion gene transcript PML-RAR-alpha and high cure rates with treatment. This entity was first described in 1957 in patients with severe bleeding tendencies with fibrinolysis, Read More …
