Fig. 1 Flow chart illustrating classification of acute leukemias based on cytochemical reactions. ALL = acute lymphocytic leukemia; AML = acute myelocytic leukemia; AMMoL = acute myelomonocytic leukemia; AMoL = acute monocytic leukemia; ANLL = acute nonlymphocytic leukemia; AUL = acute undifferentiated leukemia; CAE = chloroacetate esterase; M6 = acute erythroleukemia; M7 = acute megakaryocytic leukemia; NSE = nonspecific esterase; PAS = periodic acid-Schiff (positive reaction in erythroblasts).

Fig. 2 Flow chart showing tests used to distinguish leukemias with leukemic cells that contain azurophilic or basophilic granules. ABaL = acute nonlymphocytic leukemia with basophilic differentiation; ANLL = acute nonlymphocytic leukemia; AP + T = acid phosphatase with tartaric acid inhibition; Blastic HCL = blastic variant of hairy cell leukemia; CAE = chloroacetate esterase; LGL = excessive large granular lymphocytes and neutropenia; M7 = acute megakaryocytic leukemia; MCL = mast cell leukemia.
