Adult male with approx. 25% circulating immature cells in the PB, subsequently has a marrow that shows 40% immature cells on aspirate and over 70% on the core. Cells are large in size with deeply basophilic cytoplasm and immature chromatin patterns. Patient presented to local dermatologist with skin manifestations.
Okay my attempt to attach jpegs on this have failed (and they looked sweet too, damnit!)
Flow: No increased population in dimCD45/lowSS blast gate, increased population in "myeloid gate" lacking CD16 but strongly expressing CD56, CD13, CD33, HLA-DR. CD34 in this pop. is negative. Interesting this population is also CD4+.
What do you suspect?
What more would you do to confirm this suspicion?
