Abstractor Notes

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

Patients often present with anemia and thrombocytopenia, and often have higher white blood cell and platelet counts than seen with other AML types. Cases may show extramedullary involvement, the most frequently affected sites are gingiva, lymph nodes, and skin.

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.

Grade

Not Applicable

Module Rule

None

Alternate Names

Acute myeloid leukemia with cytoplasmic nucleophosmin

Definition

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with mutated NPM1 carries mutations that usually involve exon 12 of NPM1. Aberrant cytoplasmic expression of NPM1 is a surrogate marker of such mutations. This AML type frequently has myelomonocytic or monocytic features and typically presents de novo in adults with a normal karotype.

Definitive Diagnostic Methods

Genetic testing
Immunophenotyping

Genetics Data

del(9q)
Gain of chromosome 8
Mutated NPM1

Immunophenotyping

CD13+ (expression/positive)
CD14+ (expression/positive)
CD33+ (expression/positive)
CD34- (no expression/negative) (but can be positive)
CD36+ (expression/positive)
CD64+ (expression/positive)
CD110+ (expression/positive)
CD123+ (expression/positive)
HLA-DR- (no expression/negative)
KIT (CD117)+ (expression/positive)

Treatments

Chemotherapy
Hematologic Transplant and/or Endocrine Procedures

Incidence: One of the most common recurrent genetic lesions in AML, female predominance
Survival: Good response to induction therapy
