Abstractor Notes

(This code is effective for cases diagnosed 2010 and later. For cases diagnosed prior to 2010 see code 9801/3.)

There are no unique clinical features for this leukemia. Although the leukemia meets the criteria for both B and myeloid lineages, the blasts lack the B and myeloid genetic abnormalities.

Diagnostic Confirmation

This histology can be determined by positive histology (including peripheral blood) with or without genetics and/or immunophenotyping. Review the Definitive Diagnostic Methods, Immunophenotyping and Genetics Data sections below, and the instructions in the Hematopoietic Manual for further guidance on assigning Diagnostic confirmation.
