Reentry of small leukemic blast cells into a proliferative phase was demonstrated in a 3 yr old girl with untreated acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Since the proliferating leukemic cell compartment in this disease is not self-maintaining, continual entry of cells into this compartment is necessary to prevent depletion of proliferating cells. In order to identify the source of replacement cells, t...
متن کاملExpression Profile of Wnt Molecules in Leukemic Cells from Iranian Patients with Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia
Background: Wnt molecules play a key role in growth, proliferation and development of some embryonic and adult organs as well as hematopoietic stem cells. Wnt signaling pathways are aberrantly activated in many tumor types, including solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. Objective: To investigate the expression profile of a large number of Wnt genes in leukemic cells from Iranian patients ...
متن کاملImmunophenotyping of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia in Qazvin; A cross-sectional study
Background: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is the most prevalent cancer in childhood. ALL is a heterogeneous type of malignancy and treatment protocols vary based on the immunological classification of ALL. The critical step for treating ALL is immunological subgroup identification by flow cytometry findings. In this study, for the first time, immunophenotypic information was evaluated in c...

متن کاملFace Bones Involvement and Relapse in a Case of Childhood Acute Leukemia
Midface bones are an unusual site for primary presentation and relapse in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Herein, we describe a case of acute pre B cell lymphoblastic leukemia with leukemic infiltration of maxilla and bone marrow involvement. At the time of relapse, the patient presented again with maxilla involvement and the phenotype changed to biphenotypic lymphoblastic leukemia. Our case sug...
