Abstract
Background: The morphologic features of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) overlap greatly with other blastoid-HGBL or some mature B-cell lymphomas. Blastoid morphology is currently a diagnostic challenge.
Methods and results: Our case presents a B-ALL with surface IgD and immunoglobulin light chain Kappa restricted expression, CD13 and CD33 were partial expressed and negative for CD34. The patient achieved morphologic remission after one cycle of treatment.
Conclusions: In this case, the expression of immunophenotypic features does not clearly distinguish whether the B cells are in a mature or immature stage. In some situations, these lymphoblasts cells are hardly distinguishable from mature cells.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Laboratory is an international fully peer-reviewed journal covering all aspects of laboratory medicine and transfusion medicine. In addition to transfusion medicine topics Clinical Laboratory represents submissions concerning tissue transplantation and hematopoietic, cellular and gene therapies. The journal publishes original articles, review articles, posters, short reports, case studies and letters to the editor dealing with 1) the scientific background, implementation and diagnostic significance of laboratory methods employed in hospitals, blood banks and physicians'' offices and with 2) scientific, administrative and clinical aspects of transfusion medicine and 3) in addition to transfusion medicine topics Clinical Laboratory represents submissions concerning tissue transplantation and hematopoietic, cellular and gene therapies.
