Mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) consists of a leukemia of two different lineages (myeloid, T, and/or B) co-occurring in the same tissue. KMT2A-rearrangement is rare and usually seen in B/myeloid MPAL. We report a unique case of T/myeloid MPAL with a t(v;11q23) KMT2A-rearrangement, with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in the bone marrow but concurrent T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) in lymph node and skin. Genomic interrogation suggests an undifferentiated stem cells with KMT2A rearrangement as the founder mutation that acquired additional lineage-specific mutations resulting in AML in the marrow and T-ALL in other sites.
混合表型急性白血病(MPAL)由同一组织中同时出现的两种不同谱系(髓系、T 系和/或 B 系)的白血病组成。KMT2A 重排较为罕见,通常见于 B/髓系 MPAL。我们报告了一例独特的 T/髓系 MPAL 病例,伴有 t(v;11q23) KMT2A 重排,骨髓中为急性髓系白血病(AML),但淋巴结和皮肤中同时存在 T 细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病(T-ALL)。基因组分析提示,具有 KMT2A 重排的未分化干细胞作为起始突变,随后获得了其他谱系特异性突变,导致骨髓中出现 AML,其他部位出现 T-ALL。
