Cytology and immunophenotype feautures of 80 acute myeloid leukemia

ABSTRACT

Acute myeloid leukemia [AML]'s diagnosis is clinical and biological. We report here 80 AML with cytology and immunophenotype features to establish correlations. 21 AML1, 23 AML2, 12 AML3, 2 AML4, 18AML5 and 3 AML6 were diagnosed by cytology. Only one case of AMLO was diagnosed by immunophenotype. Myelogysplasia is present in 29,8% cases. CD 19 and CD56 expression was significantly associated to AML +t[8;21]. Additionally, concomitant negativity of CD34 and HLA-DR was dis-crimininatif to AML3 diagnosis. Prognostic value to expression some CD needs time backwards
