Abstractor Notes

The diagnosis of acute leukemia of ambiguous lineage, not otherwise specified does not have an ICD-O-3 code assigned. If this diagnosis is in the medical report, assign histology code 9801/3 for Acute undifferentiated leukemia, NOS.

Definition

Acute leukemias of ambiguous lineage, not otherwise specified (NOS), express combinations of markers that do not allow for their classification as either acute undifferentiated leukemia, or mixed-phenotype acute leukemia and definitive classification along a single lineage is difficult.
