Summary

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous group of diseases representing a clonal expansion of immature, non-lymphoid, bone marrow-derived cells that involve the bone marrow, blood, and extramedullary tissues. In general, blood or bone marrow blast counts ≥ 20% () are required for diagnosing AML, except for AML with t (8;21) (q22; q22.1), AML with inv (16) (p13.1q22) or t (16;16) (p13.1; q22), and acute promyelocytic leukemia (APML) with PML-RARA [1–4]. The World Health Organization (WHO) classification incorporates morphologic, immunophenotypic, genetic, and clinical features to define prognostically significant disease [3–5].
