Abnormalities in granule formation in acute myelogenous leukemia.
Granule formation was investigated in differentiating neutrophils of a patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) by means of the combined techniques of electron microscopy and peroxidase cytochemistry. Two important pathologic features were observed: first, an abnormal concentration and packaging of peroxidase into Auer rods in leukemic promyelocytes, and second, the presence of Auer rods s...
متن کاملClinical significance of cytogenetic abnormalities in adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC leukemias (ALL) are characterized by clonal proliferation, accumulation, and tissue infiltration of neoplastic cells. They are mainly regarded as childhood diseases, with an early incidence peak at 2 to 5 years of age, where they represent about 80% of the childhood leukemias in the United States, and occur with an incidence of up to 30 cases per 1 million population per yea...
متن کاملCytogenetic features of juvenile chronic myelogenous leukemia.
Consistent chromosomal abnormalities have been described in several leukemic disorders, but relatively little is known about the cytogenetic features of juvenile chronic myelogenous leukemia (JCML). We report the serial cytogenetic findings over a 2-yr period for a patient with JCML. A large subtelocentric marker chromosome was noted in all metaphases throughout the course of his disease and pr...
متن کاملFamilial Acute Myelogenous Leukemia: Report of Three Cases
Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is a hematological malignancy, which accounts for about 15-25% of childhood's leukemia. Genetic factor is one of the most important predisposing elements in childhood acute leukemia, especially AML. In this case report, a rare presentation of familial AML is presented in three monozygotic triplets. Two were 10 months old, and the other one was 16 months old at p...
متن کاملAcute Myelogenous Leukemia
Acute myeloid leukemia is not a single disease but a group of neoplastic disorders. The malignant cells gradually replace, and inhibit the growth and maturation of, normal erythroid, myeloid, and megakaryocytic precursors. Included among the names for this condition are acute myelogenous leukemia, acute myelocytic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, acute myeloblastic leukemia, acute granulocytic...
