Hx: 16 yo boy with pallor and bruising. Blood smear shows anemia, thrombocytopenia, leukocytosis (100,000/mm3, 90% immature cells). Flow cytometry on blood shows cells are TdT+, CD10+, CD3+, CD7+, CD4+, and CD8+. Interpretation: A.AML B.B-cell ALL C.T-cell ALL D.Hematogone hyperplasia E.Neuroblastoma 1 Comment: The cells are T lymphoblasts by morphology and flow cytometry. Hematogones are rarely seen in peripheral blood. High white count and large and small blasts favor T-cell ALL.

Interpretation: A.AML B.B-cell ALL C.T-cell ALL D.Hematogone hyperplasia E.Neuroblastoma 2 Comment: The cells are immunophenotypically precursor T lymphoblasts.

Hx: 6 yo boy with bone pain. Blood smear shows pancytopenia, and 5% circulating immature cells (pictured). Flow cytometry on marrow shows 80% cells are TdT+, CD10+ and CD19+. Interpretation: A.AML B.B-cell ALL C.T-cell ALL D.Hematogone hyperplasia E.Neuroblastoma 3

Hx: 6 yo boy with bone pain. Blood smear shows pancytopenia but no blasts. Flow cytometry on marrow shows 95% cells are TdT+, CD10+ and CD19+. Interpretation: A.AML B.B-cell ALL C.T-cell ALL D.Hematogone hyperplasia E.Neuroblastoma 3 Comment: This is a blast by morphology and is B phenotype by flow cytometry. Hematogones should show more of a spectrum of maturation and are unlikely to completely replace the normal marrow elements. Solid tumor cells tend to clump rather than cluster.

Interpretation: A.Myeloid sarcoma B.B lymphoblastic lymphoma C.T lymphoblastic lymphoma D.Burkitt lymphoma E.Reactive process 7 Comment: The “starry-sky” histology can be seen in either lymphoblastic lymphoma or Burkitt lymphoma, but the immunophenotype is of a mature B-cell, consistent with Burkitt lymphoma, and the appearance of the cells also favors Burkitt lymphoma.

Interpretation: A.Acute myeloid leukemia B.Chronic myeloid leukemia C.Acute lymphoblastic leukemia D.Chediak-Higashi syndrome E.Reactive process 15 Comment: Increased blasts mark as myelomonocytic lineage, so this is AML. The strange, darkly granulated cells are abnormal eosinophils, morphology that correlates with a karyotype of inv(16) or t(16;16).
