Abstractor Notes

The provisional diagnosis during workup may include RA with excess blasts, AML without maturation, AML with maturation, and acute myelomonocytic leukemia.

The immunophenotyping information listed below is useful only because it shows those factors that are positive for all myeloid leukemias. The bone marrow only identifies a myeloid neoplasm. Neither the bone marrow biopsy nor the immunophenotyping provide a definitive diagnosis of AML with maturation.

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 myeloid leukemia (AML) with maturation is characterized by the presence of greater than or equal to 20% blasts in the bone marrow or peripheral blood and evidence of maturation (with greater than or equal to 10% of maturing cells of granulocytic lineage) in the bone marrow; cells of monocyte lineage constitute < 20% of bone marrow cells.
