Acute erythroid leukemia

Acute erythroid leukemia

A rare unclassified acute myeloid leukemia characterized by a proliferation of immature cells exclusively of the erythroid lineage without a significant myeloblastic component. Microscopically, the cells may be undifferentiated or pro-erythroblastic in appearance. Patients may present with pancytopenia with fatigue, infections, and mucocutaneous bleedings, as well as weight loss, fever, and night sweats. Prognosis is poor.
