Abstractor Notes

(This code is effective for cases diagnosed 2021 and later. For cases diagnosed prior to 2021 see code: 9861/3.)

Patients most commonly present with leukocytes with a blast predominance and variable presence of anemia and thrombocytopenia.

This is an aggressive disease, with poor response to traditional AML therapy or tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy alone. Improved survival is seen with tyrosine kinase inhibitor followed by allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation.

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.

AML with BCR-ABL1

Definition

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with BCR-ABL1 (a provisional entity in the current classification) is a de novo AML in which patients show no evidence (either before or after therapy) of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Cases that meet the criteria for mixed-phenotype acute leukemia, therapy-related myeloid neoplasms, or other AML types with current genetic abnormalities are excluded from this category.

Definitive Diagnostic Methods

Bone marrow biopsy
Genetic testing
Immunophenotyping
Peripheral blood smear

Genetics Data

b2a2 fusion
b3a2 fusion
BCR-ABL1 fusion
Chromosome 7 loss
Chromosome 8 gain
p190 fusion
p210 fusion
t(9;22)(q34.1;q11.2)

Immunophenotyping

CD7+ (aberrant expression/positive)
CD13+ (expression/positive)
CD19+ (aberrant expression/positive)
CD33+ (expression/positive)
CD34+ (expression/positive)
TdT+ (aberrant expression/positive)
