Name

Acute myeloid leukemia (megakaryoblastic) with t(1;22)(p13.3;q13.1); RBM15-MKL1

ICD-O-3 Morphology

9911/3: Acute myeloid leukamia (megakaryoblastic) with t(1;22)(p13;q13);RBM15-MKL1
Effective 2010 and later

Reportable

for cases diagnosed 2010 and later

Primary Site(s)

C421
Primary site must be bone marrow (C421)

Abstractor Notes

(This code is effective for cases diagnosed 2010 and later. For cases diagnosed prior to 2010, see code 9910/3.)

Most commonly occurs in infants without Downs syndrome.

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.

Grade

Not Applicable

Module Rule

Alternate Names

Definition

Acute myeloid leukemia (megakaryoblastic) with t(1;22)(p13.3;q13.1) resulting in RBM15-MKL1fusion is an AML generally showing maturation in the megakaryocyte lineage.

CD33 positive
CD34 negative
CD36 positive, but not specific
CD41 (glycoprotein IIb/IIIa) expression
CD42b (glycoprotein Ib) expression
CD45 negative
CD61 (glycoprotein IIIa) expression
