Acute panmyelosis with myelofibrosis

ICD-O-1 Morphology

9951/1: Acute panmyelosis
Effective 1978 - 1991

ICD-O-2 Morphology

Effective 1992 - 2000

ICD-O-3 Morphology

9931/3: Acute panmyelosis with myelofibrosis
Effective 2001 and later

Reportable

for cases diagnosed 1992 and later

Primary Site(s)

C421
Primary site must be bone marrow (C421)

Abstractor Notes

This is primarily a disease of adults but has been reported in children. Bone marrow aspiration is usually unsuccessful; either no BM is obtained or the specimen is suboptimal. Bone marrow biopsy supplemented with immunohistology is required for a diagnosis.

If the leukemia occurs before or simultaneously with Myeloid Sarcoma (9930/3), see M3 and Module 5:PH10.

Diagnostic Confirmation

This histology can be determined by positive histology (including peripheral blood) with or without genetics and/or immunophenotyping. Review the Definitive Diagnostic Methods, Immunophenotyping and Genetics Data sections below, and the instructions in the Hematopoietic Manual for further guidance on assigning Diagnostic confirmation.

Definition

Acute panmyelosis with myelofibrosis (APMF) is an acute panmyeloid proliferation with increased blasts (greater than or equal to 20% of cells in the bone marrow or peripheral blood) and accompanying fibrosis of the bone marrow.

Bone marrow biopsy
Genetic testing
Immunophenotyping

Genetics Data

-5/del(5q)
-7/del(7q)

Immunophenotyping

CD13+ (expression/positive)
CD33+ (expression/positive)
CD34+ (expression/positive)
KIT (CD117)+ (expression/positive)
Myeloid hematopoietic stem cell

Treatments

Chemotherapy
Hematologic Transplant and/or Endocrine Procedures
