Abstractor Notes

(This code is effective for cases diagnosed 2010 and later. For cases diagnosed prior to 2010, see code 9801/3.)

Patients present with features similar to those of other patients with acute leukemia. Mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) diagnosis should not be made in patients known to have had CML.

Diagnostic Confirmation

This histology can only be determined by positive genetics and/or immunophenotyping, diagnostic confirmation will always be 3.

Alternate Names

MPAL

Definition

Mixed-phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) with t(9;22)(q34.1;q11.2) fulfills the criteria for MPAL and has blasts with t(9;22) and/or BCR-ABL1 rearrangement. Some patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) develop or even present with a mixed blast phase that would fulfill the criteria for MPAL; however, this diagnosis should not be made in patients known to have had CML.

Definitive Diagnostic Methods

FISH
Genetic testing
Karyotyping
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
