Summary
This study describes two elderly patients diagnosed with minimally differentiated hypoplastic acute myeloid leukemia (AML-M0). Both cases showed hypocellular bone marrow and CD13-positive blasts, with stable disease after six months of supportive care.
Area of Science:
- Hematology
- Oncology
Background:
- Hypoplastic leukemia is a rare variant of acute myeloid leukemia characterized by hypocellular bone marrow.
- Minimally differentiated acute myeloid leukemia (AML-M0) presents diagnostic challenges due to the lack of specific morphological or cytochemical features.
