Eosinophilic leukemias are difficult to individualize amid the hypereosinophilic syndromes. Chromosomal abnormalities when present within the eosinophils are of critical value in the diagnosis of a malignancy. We report here the case of a 27-year-old woman who had been healthy, until recently when she suddenly developed hepatosplenomegaly and lymph node enlargement, and considerable eosinophilia in blood and bone marrow. The morphologically abnormal cells (large pseudo Pelger eosinocytes) predominated in the cytology. The establishment in these cells of a clonal chromosomal anomaly, t(10;11)(p14;q21), favored the malignancy and diagnosis of acute eosinophilic leukemia.

D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells.

D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
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.
