Mixed lymphoblastic-myelomonoblastic leukemia in treated Hodgkin's disease. 1980

A G Prentice, and A G Smith, and K F Bradstock

In a case of acute leukemia occurring 5.5 yr after diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease, a mixture of lymphoid and myelomonocytoid blasts was identified by morphological, cytochemical, and immunologic methods. The majority of blasts were characterised as lymphoid by their strong expression of nuclear terminal transferase (TdT) enzyme. In contrast, a minor blast population was identified as myelomonocytoid by the strong nonspecific esterase positivity and lack of TdT. The two distinct blast cell populations showed different sensitivity to the various chemotherapeutic protocols used.

D007945 Leukemia, Lymphoid Leukemia associated with HYPERPLASIA of the lymphoid tissues and increased numbers of circulating malignant LYMPHOCYTES and lymphoblasts. Leukemia, Lymphocytic,Lymphocytic Leukemia,Lymphoid Leukemia,Leukemias, Lymphocytic,Leukemias, Lymphoid,Lymphocytic Leukemias,Lymphoid Leukemias
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.

D001854 Bone Marrow Cells Cells contained in the bone marrow including fat cells (see ADIPOCYTES); STROMAL CELLS; MEGAKARYOCYTES; and the immediate precursors of most blood cells. Bone Marrow Cell,Cell, Bone Marrow,Cells, Bone Marrow,Marrow Cell, Bone,Marrow Cells, Bone
