Ph1-positive megakaryoblastic leukemia
Abstract
A case of megakaryoblastic leukemia is presented. Megakaryoblastosis and erythrocytic hyperplasia of the bone marrow, thrombocythemia, and hepatosplenomegaly were the essential features; 100% of the marrow-derived metaphases were found to be Ph1-positive. Cytologic and chromosomal findings are compatible with the assumption that all three marrow systems were involved in the leukemic process.
