Pseudo-Chediak-Higashi inclusions in a case of acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Pseudo-Chediak-Higashi anomaly in a case of acute myeloid leukemia: electron microscopic studies.

The formation and fine structure of giant granules in neutrophil promyelocytes of a patient with a variant of acute myelogenous leukemia were investigated by electron microscopy. The patient presented with large lymph nodes and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). By light microscopy, numerous giant granules, resembling those of Chediak-Higashi syndrome (CHS), were present, but Auer bo...

Acute promyelocytic leukemia with pseudo-Chediak-Higashi anomaly: a case report and review of the literature.

The hypergranular type of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is characterized by heavy granulation and the presence of Auer rods. These granules are usually small, azurophilic, and have the appearance of the primary granules of normal promyelocytes. There have been several reports of myeloid leukemias, including APL, with the unusual finding of large granules (inclusions) simulating the inclusi...

Pseudo Chediak-Higashi Anomaly

A 9-year-old girl was admitted to hospital with a 1-month history of fever, weight loss, epistaxis, and abdominal pain. The girl’s parents were non-consanguineous. Her medical history was unremarkable. Upon admission she weighed 27 kg (25th-50th percentile), was 131 cm tall (50th percentile), and was pale. Physical examination showed multiple cervical and inguinal microlymphadenopathies, withou...

Introduction: Chediak-Higashi syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that characterized by severe immunodeficiency. It is also associated with a lymphoproliferative disorder termed the accelerated phase with lymphocytic infiltration of the major organ of the body. Case Report: The patients was a 1-year old boy with intermittent fever, anorexia, malaise. On physical examination h...
