Extramedullary presentation of blast crisis in chronic myelogenous leukemia. 1985

E T Velasquez, and R S Verma, and M Krishnamurthy, and H Dosik

We present a case with the clinical and pathological impression of Ph1-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia in extramedullary blast crisis involving lymph nodes as demonstrated by morphological and cytogenetic studies. The hyperploid cell lines that were present in the lymph node were not present in the bone marrow. The present case demonstrates that cytogenetic and morphological studies of extramedullary organs are helpful in the confirmation of the diagnosis of blast crisis, especially when lymph nodes are the site of original presentation.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
