Lineage ambiguity in acute leukemia.

G T Roberts, S B el Badawi, K Sackey

    Cancer
    |October 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Two acute nonlymphocytic leukemia cases presented with lymphoid cell surface markers. This suggests ambiguous lineage in leukemia, potentially arising from pluripotent stem cells or differentiated cells retaining early antigens.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Immunophenotyping
    • Leukemia Research

    Background:

    • Acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) typically exhibits myeloid characteristics.
    • Immunophenotyping is crucial for classifying leukemia subtypes.
    • Ambiguous lineage leukemias challenge traditional classification systems.

    Observation:

    • Two female patients with ANLL displayed surface phenotypes usually associated with lymphoid cells.
    • Flow cytometry and karyotyping were used to analyze blast cell populations.
    • Case 1 (FAB M1) showed weak Sudan black B positivity and lacked myeloid markers but expressed B-cell antigens (B1, B2, B4).
    • Case 2 (FAB M4) had typical myelomonocytic features, expressed myeloid markers (My7, My9), and also showed B-cell antigen positivity.

    Findings:

    • Both ANLL cases exhibited unexpected positivity for B-cell restricted antigens (B1, B2, B4).
    • Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase was negative in both patients.
    • Case 1 suggested a pluripotent hematopoietic progenitor origin, while Case 2 indicated differentiation with retention of early antigens.

    Implications:

    • These findings support the concept of ambiguous or dual lineage in leukemia development.
    • Leukemias may arise from multipotent stem cells or aberrant differentiation pathways.
    • Revisiting leukemia classification may be necessary to accommodate such ambiguous cases.
