Flow cytometry on marrow shows 90% of cells are TdT+, CD10+, CD3+ and CD7+. Interpretation: A. AML B. B-cell ALL C. T-cell ALL D. Hematogone hyperplasia E. Neuroblastoma Comment: The cells are immunophenotypically precursor T lymphoblasts. Morphologically they correspond to the old L2 designation from the FAB classification system.
3 Hx: 6 yo boy with bone pain. Blood smear shows pancytopenia, and 5% circulating immature cells (pictured). Flow cytometry on marrow shows 80% cells are TdT+, CD10+ and CD19+. Interpretation: A. AML B. B-cell ALL C. T-cell ALL D. Hematogone hyperplasia E. Neuroblastoma
3 Hx: 6 yo boy with bone pain. Blood smear shows pancytopenia but no blasts. Flow cytometry on marrow shows 95% cells are TdT+, CD10+ and CD19+. Interpretation: A. AML B. B-cell ALL C. T-cell ALL D. Hematogone hyperplasia E. Neuroblastoma Comment: This is a blast by morphology and is B phenotype by flow cytometry. Hematogones should show more of a spectrum of maturation and are unlikely to completely replace the normal marrow elements. Solid tumor cells tend to clump rather than cluster.
4 Hx: 15 yo boy with respiratory distress. Radiology shows cervical and mediastinal lymphadenopathy, which is biopsied. Flow cytometry shows a proliferation of cells that are TdT+, CD10+, CD3+, CD7+, CD4+ and CD8+. Interpretation: A. Myeloid sarcoma B. B lymphoblastic lymphoma C. T lymphoblastic lymphoma D. Hodgkin lymphoma E. Reactive process

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia D. Leukoerythroblastic reaction E. Infectious mononucleosis Comment: The large blasts with ample cytoplasm and prominent nucleoli are suggestive of AML, but the Auer rod is diagnostic.
14 Hx: 8 yo boy with bruising. Blood smear shows anemia, thrombocytopenia, and leukocytosis (30,000/mm3, 50% blasts). Flow cytometry on marrow shows 50% blasts with TdT+, MPO+, CD13+, CD33+, partial CD19+. Interpretation: A. Acute myeloid leukemia B. Chronic myelogenous leukemia C. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia D. Myelodysplastic syndrome E. Reactive process
14 Hx: 8 yo boy with bruising. Blood smear shows anemia, thrombocytopenia, and leukocytosis (30,000/mm3, 50% blasts). Flow cytometry on marrow shows 50% blasts with TdT+, MPO+, CD13+, CD33+. Interpretation: A. Acute myeloid leukemia B. Chronic myelogenous leukemia C. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia D. Myelodysplastic syndrome E. Reactive process Comment: The elevated blast count indicates acute leukemia. Auer rod is diagnostic of a myeloid neoplasm, and flow cytometry agrees. Morphology shows myeloid maturation and a large blunt Auer rod, which often correlates with t(8;21)(q22;q22) and RUNX1/RUNX1T1 fusion.
