Abstract:
A patient with acute myelomonocytic leukemia (M4), dysmegakaryocytopoiesis and thrombocytosis is presented. Immunophenotyping and blast colony assay showed the presence of blasts with IaDr, CD 33 and CD 14 antigens. Cytogenetic analysis and level of thrombopoietin were normal. This atypical case represents yet another example of the transitional zone between atypical myeloproliferative disease and acute leukemia, and the apparent absence of any cytogenetic abnormality is noteworthy.

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune system...
