Abstractor Notes

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

AML with biallelic mutation of CEBPA tends to be associated with higher hemoglobin levels, lower platelet counts, and lower lactate dehydrogenase levels. It may also be associated with a lower frequency of lymphadenopathy.

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.

Definition

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with biallelic mutation of CEBPA usually meets the criteria for AML with maturation or AML without maturation, but some cases show myelomonocytic or monoblastic features. This leukemia usually presents de novo.
