[Characterization of morphologic, cytochemical and immunological features in myeloperoxidase negative acute myeloid leukaemia].

Ten cases of acute myeloperoxidase-negative myeloid leukaemia (AML) were reported. They had no typical mopholocid negative for lymphocic features and were negative antigens. However 5 cases were positive for NSE/NaF stain. 9 of the 10 cases expressed more than one myeloid antigens. The authors are of the opinion that it is very difficult to diagnose myeloperoxidase-negative AML and combination of cytochemical and immunological techniques is recommended in this respect.

[Some difficult problems in the classification of acute leukemia].

The authors presented 5 cases of ANLL and 6 cases of ALL according to FAB classification and further classified them with leukemic cell morphology, cytochemistry and immunophenotyping. Five cases of them belonged to low grade peroxidase ANLL (LP-ANLL), 4 to hybrid acute leukemia (HAL) and 2 to acute undifferentiated leukemia (AUL). The importance of immunophenotyping of leukemic cells in classification of acute leukemia was emphasized and the criteria for diagnosis of LP-ANLL, HAL and AUL discussed. The authors are of the opinion that the diagnosis of these three kinds of acute leukemia is difficult and the prognosis is serious.
