Coding Manual: Hematopoietic Coding Manual (PDF)

Abstractor Notes

The provisional diagnoses may include
1. AML
2. AML without maturation
3. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)
4. AML with maturation.

The patients with ALL have a low percentage of MPO-positive blasts while the AML with maturation has a higher percentage of MPO-positive blasts.

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

Diagnostic Confirmation

This AML is part of the "AML with recurrent genetic abnormalities" group. Since this AML is diagnosed based on genetics, diagnostic confirmation will always be 3.

Alternate Names

Acute myeloid leukemia, MLL
Acute myeloid leukemia with 11q23 (MLL) abnormalities
Acute myeloid leukemia with t(9;11)(p22;q23); MLLT3-MLL

Definition

Acute myeloid leukemia with t(9;11)(p21.3;q23.3) resulting in KMT2A-MLLT3 fusion is usually associated with monocytic features.

Definitive Diagnostic Methods
