Clinics and Pathology

Disease

de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML), so far

Phenotype stem cell origin

2 cases of M4, one M2, and one M1

Epidemiology

yet poorly known; 2 young adulds (22 and 34 yrs) and 2 infant twins; 2M/2F

Prognosis

documented in only 2 cases (dead at 10 and 21 mths); likely to be comparable with that of other entities with 11q23/MLL11q23/MLL involvement
