Summary

This case report details acute megakaryoblastic leukemia in a 63-year-old man presenting with pancytopenia and complex chromosomal abnormalities. The blast cells were confirmed as megakaryoblasts using platelet peroxidase and monoclonal antibody TP80.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Oncology
  • Cytogenetics

Background:

  • Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL) is a rare subtype of acute myeloid leukemia.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging due to overlapping features with other myeloid neoplasms.

Observation:

  • A 63-year-old male presented with pancytopenia, a dry bone marrow tap, and hypoplastic marrow with fibrosis.
  • Peripheral blood blast cells were identified as megakaryoblasts.
  • Positive staining for platelet peroxidase (PPO) and reactivity with monoclonal antibody TP80 (anti-glycoprotein IIb/IIIa) supported megakaryoblastic differentiation.

Findings:

  • Chromosomal analysis revealed a mosaic karyotype with both normal and abnormal cell lines.
  • Abnormalities included monosomy 5, monosomy 7, monosomy 18, a deletion on the long arm of chromosome 10 (10q-), and a marker chromosome.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of thorough diagnostic workup, including cytogenetics and immunophenotyping, for rare leukemia subtypes.
  • Complex chromosomal aberrations in AMKL may influence prognosis and treatment strategies.
  • Further research into the specific role of identified chromosomal abnormalities in AMKL pathogenesis is warranted.
