Abstract:
Lymphoid involvement in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) was studied using the morphology-antibody-chromosome (MAC) combination technique in one patient. The chromosomal aberration, trisomy 8, was demonstrated in AML blasts, glycophorin A-positive erythroblasts, and CD3- and CD20/22-positive small lymphocytes. This suggests that in this patient even lymphocytes belonged to the leukemic clone.
