We experienced the case of an 82-year-old man with chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) with dysplastic features in the granulocytic lineage which subsequently progressed to acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) with myelofibrosis. The patient had hepatosplenomegaly, but there was no evident cause of neutrophilic leukocytosis. The cytogenetic study showed that he had a normal karyotype. Concentrations of the serum granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) were not detectable. Two years after the diagnosis of CNL, blastic transformation to AML occurred with myelofibrosis and significant morphological abnormalities in neutrophils. The blasts were positive for myeloperoxidase, CD33, CD34, and HLA-DR, and the presence of dysplasia within the granulocytic lineage suggested that he had an abnormality at the level of the granulocyte-committed progenitors. Heterogeneous origins of CNL might lead to various clinicopathological features in each case.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.
