Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the bone marrow cell morphology and immuno-phenotype characteristics of mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL)patients by flow cytometry,and to provide a reference for the diagnosis of leukemia. Methods The clinical data of 9 MPAL patients were collected,and their bone marrow cell morphology and immuno-phenotype characteristics were evaluated. Results The CD34 positive expression rate of 9 MPAL patients was 77.78%. The CD34 positive expression rates of acute myeloid and lymphoid monophenotypic leukemias were 51.74% and 60.00%,respectively. The immuno-phenotypes were mainly expressed in cMPO,cCD79a and CD3. Conclusions The characteristics of MPAL are complex. The results of bone marrow cell morphology and immuno-phenotype by flow cytometry should be analyzed combinedly in order to improve the diagnostic accuracy of MPAL.
