Hematology
Acute Myelogenous & Lymphocytic Leukemia
Name | Main Characteristics |
---|---|
AML Minimal Differentiation - FAB M0 | Lack of granules or regular staining reactions Blast demonstrate myeloid differentiation |
AML without Maturation - FAB M1 | Predominant cell = myeloblasts without maturation <10% of all granulocytic cells show evidence of maturation beyond the myeloblast stage |
AML w Maturation - FAB M2 | ≥20% blasts with evidence of malturation to more mature neutrophils >10% of cells at differentiated stages of maturation: promyelocyte, myelocyte, and metamyelocyte <20% of marrow cells are monocyte and precursors |
AML w t(15;17) - FAB M3 | Abnormal promyelocytes - both hyper and hypo granular forms exist |
Acute Myelomonocytic Leukemia - FAB M4 | ≥20% of blasts are myelocytic ≥20% of blasts are monocytic |
Acute Monocytic Leukemia - FAB M5 | >20% are monocytic series (often blasts & promonocytes) <20% are myeloblasts & granulocytic If most monocytic cells are monoblasts = Acute Monoblastic Leukemia (FAB M5a) If most monocytic cells are promonocytes = Acute Monoblastic Leukemia (FAB M5b) |
Acute Erythroid Leukemia - FAB M6 | ≥50% are erythroid precursors ≥20% are myeloblasts (this is what qualifies this as a leukemia Pure Erythroid Leukemia = 80% of marrow cells are erythroid |
Acute Megakaryoblastic Leukemia - FAB M7 | ≥50% of leukemic blasts are of the megakaryocytic lineage |
Acute Basophilic Leukemia | High amount of Basophils |
Precursor B-Cell Neoplasms - FAB L1 | Small lymphoblasts, uniform size, scant cytoplasm In children = 80-85% are B-cell In adults = 70% are B-cell ALL |
Precursor T-Cell Neoplasms - FAB L2 | Larger lymphoblasts, pleomorphic, abundant cytoplasm In children = 15% are T-cell ALL |
Burkitt’s Type ALL - FAB L3 | Lymphoblasts with intense basophilic cytoplasm and vacuoles Large lymphoblasts w abundant intense basophilic cytoplasm w prominent cytoplasmic vacuolization |
