Flashcards: Acute myeloid leukemia

Acute basophilic leukemia is a rare form of acute myeloid leukemia where blasts are accompanied by abnormal basophils in all stages of differentiation.

Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL) is a form of leukemia where a majority of the blasts are megakaryoblastic.

Acute myeloid dendritic cell leukemia is an exceedingly rare form of leukemia.

Acute panmyelosis with myelofibrosis (APMF) it is a poorly defined disorder that arises as either a clonal disorder, or following toxic exposure to the bone marrow.

Mast cell leukemia is an extremely aggressive subtype of acute myeloid leukemia that usually occurs de novo but can, rarely, evolve from transformation of chronic myeloid leukemia into the more aggressive acute myeloid leukemia.

Minimally differentiated acute myeloblastic leukemia is a subtype of AML.

Acute myelomonocytic leukemia (AMMoL) is a form of acute myeloid leukemia that involves a proliferation of CFU-GM myeloblasts and monoblasts.

M2 is a subtype of AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia).

Acute myeloblastic leukemia is a form of myeloid leukemia affecting myeloblasts.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APML, APL) is the M3 subtype of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), a cancer of the white blood cells.

A myeloid sarcoma (chloroma, granulocytic sarcoma, extramedullary myeloid tumor), is a solid tumor composed of immature white blood cells called myeloblasts.

Acute monocytic leukemia (AMoL, or AML-M5) is considered a type of acute myeloid leukemia.

Acute erythroid leukemia or Di Guglielmo syndrome is a rare form of acute myeloid leukemia (less than 5% of AML cases) where the myeloproliferation is of erythroblastic precursors.

Acute biphenotypic leukaemia is a form of leukaemia where the lineage is of both lymphoid and myeloid origin.
