Abstractor Notes

The acute myeloid leukemias with related precursor neoplasms are characterized by recurrent genetic abnormalities of prognostic significance. This specific neoplasm is an acute myeloid leukemia with abnormal marrow eosinophils.

In addition to the usual morphological features of acute myelomonocytic leukemia, the BM shows a variable number of eosinophils (usually increased but sometimes less than five percent). The most striking abnormalities include the immature eosinophilic granules, usually present at later stages.

If the leukemia occurs before or simultaneously with Myeloid Sarcoma (9930/3), see M3 and Module 5:PH10

Diagnostic Confirmation

This AML is part of the "AML with recurrent genetic abnormalities" group. Since this AML is diagnosed based on genetics, diagnostic confirmation will always be 3.

Definition

Acute myeloid leukemia with inv(16)(p13.1q22) or t(16;16)(p13.1;q22) resulting in CBFB-MYH11 is an AML that usually shows monocytic and granulocytic differentiation and characteristically an abnormal eosinophil component in the bone marrow.

Definitive Diagnostic Methods

Bone marrow biopsy
Genetic testing
Immunophenotyping

Signs and Symptoms

Easy bruising or bleeding
Fatigue
Fever
Petechiae
Shortness of breath
Weakness
Weight loss or loss of appetite

Diagnostic Exams

CT (CAT) scan
Cytogenetic analysis
Immunophenotyping
Lumbar puncture
Peripheral blood smear
Physical exam and history

Progression and Transformation

Longer complete remissions when treated with high dose cytarabine in the consolidation phase
Older patients and those with KIT mutations have higher risk of relapse and worse survival

Epidemiology and Mortality

Age: predominantly younger patients
Incidence: 5-8% of all cases of AML
Survival: longer complete remissions possible when treated with high dose cytarabine in the consolidation phase
