Abstractor Notes

Myeloid leukemia, NOS is a generic neoplasm description. DCO cases or path report only cases may stay in this classification.

In most cases, NOS histology is only the provisional diagnosis; the physician will run further diagnostic procedures and look for various clinical presentations to identify a more specific neoplasm. Further review of the medical record should be done to look for the tests listed as definitive diagnosis. If no information is found in the medical record, follow-back to the attending physician should be done.

More specific myeloid leukemias include:
1. Acute myeloid leukemia, NOS (9861/3)
2. Acute myeloid leukemia (megakaryoblastic) with t(1;22)(p13.3;q13.1); RBM15-MKL1 (9911/3)
3. Acute myeloid leukemia with BCR-ABL1 (9912/3) (2021)+
4. Acute myeloid leukemia with biallelic mutation of CEBPA (9878/3) (2021+)
5. Acute myeloid leukemia with inv(3)(q21.3q26.2) or t(3;3)(q21.3;q26.2); GATA2, MECOM (9869/3)
6. Acute myeloid leukemia with inv(16)(p13.1q22) or t(16;16)(p13.1;q22); CBFB-MYH11 (9871/3)
7. Acute myeloid leukemia with maturation (9874/3)
8. Acute myeloid leukemia with minimal differentiation (9872/3)
9. Acute myeloid leukemia with mutated NPM1 (9877/3) (2021+)
10. Acute myeloid leukemia with mutated RUNX1 (9879/3) (2021+)
11. Acute myeloid leukemia with myelodysplasia-related changes (9895/3)
12. Acute myeloid leukemia with t(6;9)(p23;q34.1); DEK-NUP214 (9865/3)
13. Acute myeloid leukemia, t(8;21)(q22;q22.1); RUNX1-RUNX1T1 (9896/3)
14.Acute myeloid leukemia with t(9;11)(p21.3;q23.3); KMT2A-MLLT3 (9897/3)
15. Acute myeloid leukemia without maturation (9873/3)
16. Myeloid leukemia associated with Down syndrome (9898/3)
17. Myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with PDGFRB rearrangement (9966/3)

When a more specific diagnosis is identified, the histology should be changed to the more specific neoplasm name and code. See the histology tables for more information on NOS and more specific histologies.

Diagnostic Confirmation

This is a histology for which the Definitive Diagnostic Method does not include Genetics Data or Immunophenotyping, thus Diagnostic Confirmation should never be 3. If genetics and/or immunophenotyping are available, re-review to see if a more specific neoplasm can be coded.
