| Popis: |
Eight cases of acute myelogenous leukemia with (8; 21) translocation were reported. As recently reported, they showed following features: M2 morphology in FAB classification (all 8 patients), abnormal granulocyte maturation, i.e. large granules and pseudo Pelger-Huet forms (5), Auer rods (8), occasional eosinophilia (2), frequent loss of one sex chromosome (5), the low neutrophil alkaline phosphatase activity (5), and tumor formation (one). Both CD13 and CD33 antigens were expressed on smaller number of leukemic cells than the other AML (M2) cells, whereas CD34 and HLA-DR antigens were expressed on higher number of cells. Interestingly CD19 antigen was detected on a small to large population of tumor cells from four out of six patients. Despite the high remission rate, many of them relapsed within one year. More intensive postinduction and maintenance therapy should be considered for those patients. |
