Objective:
To investigate the diagnostic value of cytomorphology (including cytochemical staining) in newly diagnosed acute leukemia, so as to improve the importance of cytomorphology.
Methods:
The clinical data of 119 cases of acute leukemia diagnosed in our hospital from April 2016 to June 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. According to morphologic and immunological typing, accordance rate to final diagnosis was compared.
Results:
The diagnostic accordance rate of simple morphological typing was 76.5%, and the diagnostic accordance rate of simple immunological typing was 79.8%, the difference of diagnostic coincidence rate was not significant between the two groups of acute leukemia.
Conclusion:
Cytomorphology is the cornerstone of the diagnosis of acute leukemia, it has similar value to immunological classification in the diagnosis of leukemia and should pay enough attention. MICM comprehensive diagnosis can improve the final diagnosis rate, showing a guidance significance for the treatment and prognosis of patients with acute leukemia.
