Clinics and Pathology

Disease acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)
Epidemiology a very rare type of leukaemia, primarily of young adults
Cytology vacuolated small and large blasts
Prognosis poor prognosis with short complete remission duration

Cytogenetics

Cytogenetics Morphological ALL with severe hypodiploidy is characterised by chromosome number ranging from 30-39 and the chromosomes commonly retained are copies of 1, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 18, 19, 21, 22, and the sex chromosomes; cells with double the hypodiploid number may also be present
