Abstractor Notes

(This code is effective for cases diagnosed 2010 and later. For cases diagnosed prior to 2010 see code 9861/3.)

Patients may have a prior MDS or present with splenomegaly.

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

Definition

Acute myeloid leukemia with inv(3)(q21.3q26.2) or t(3;3)(q21.3;q26.2) resulting in deregulated MECOM (also called EVI1) and GATA2 expression is an AML with greater than or equal to 20% peripheral blood or bone marrow blasts. It is often associated with normal or elevated platelet counts and has increased dysplastic megakaryocytes with unilobed or bilobed nuclei and multilineage dysplasia in the bone marrow.

Definitive Diagnostic Methods

Genetic testing
Immunophenotyping
Peripheral blood smear
