Name

B-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma with t(12;21) (p13.2;q22.1); ETV6-RUNX1

ICD-O-3 Morphology

9814/3: B Lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma with t(12;21)(p13;q22); TEL-AML1 (ETV6-RUNX1
Effective 2010 and later

Reportable

for cases diagnosed 2010 and later

Primary Site(s)

See Module 4: Rules PH7, PH8
Usually presents as a leukemia. Lymphomatous presentation is rare.

Abstractor Notes

(This code is effective for cases diagnosed 2010 and later. For cases diagnosed prior to 2010, see codes: 9728/3 [lymphoma] or 9836/3 [leukemia].)

This leukemia is relatively common in children. The incidence decreases with age, so it is seldom seen in older children and rarely, if never, in adults.

Diagnostic Confirmation

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

Definition

B-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma with t(12;21) (p13.2;q22.1) is a neoplasm of lymphoblasts committed to the B-cell lineage in which the blasts harbor a translocation between ETV6 (also called TEL) on chromosome 12 and RUNX1 (also called AML1) on chromosome 21.

Bone marrow biopsy
Genetic testing
Immunophenotyping
