Acute leukaemia of ambiguous lineage

Abstract

Acute leukaemias of ambiguous lineage include acute leukaemias that cannot be classified as myeloid or lymphoid origin or which have characteristics of both myeloid and lymphoid cells or both B and T cell lineages (acute bilineal leukaemia and acute biphenotypic leukaemia). This chapter discusses briefly the classification and management of acute leukaemia of ambiguous lineage in children.
