Abstractor Notes

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

Although this leukemia meets the criteria for assignment to both T and myeloid lineage, the blasts lack the genetic abnormalities. There are no unique clinical features for this leukemia.

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.
