Abstract

In a small percentage of acute leukemias the lineage specificity of blasts remains undetermined after morphologic, cytochemical, and immunologic analyses. Some of these cases may coexpress markers of different cell lineages, suggesting their origin from a multipotent precursor cell or an aberrant gene expression [1–3].
