ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA
LEUKEMIA
• Leukemia are the neoplastic proliferation of hemopoietic cells.
• Acute leukemias are defined as neoplsam • AML - more than 20 % blast• ALL- more than 25% blast.
• Commonest form of malignancy in childhood.• Peak incidence at 4 – 5 yrs of age.• Acute onset with short history of duration.• 85% are B cell , 15% are T cell.
ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA
• HEREDITARY
• ACQUIRED• Ionizing radiations• Therapeutic radiations• Nuclear fallout• Diagnostic Xrays• Chemical agents• Viruses
PREDISPOSING FACTORS
• Activation of a proto-oncogene to an oncogene when it is translocated to a transcriptionally active site
• Formation of a chimeric transcription factor• Formation of a fusion protein with enhanced tyrosine
kinase activity• Activation of FTL3 receptor• Inactivation of tumour suppressor gene pathway
MECHANISM OF LEUKAEMOGENESIS
SYMPTOMS• FEVER • FATIGUE• BONE /JOINTS PAIN• WEIGHT LOSS• PURPURA AND BLEEDING MANIFESTATION• LYMPHADENOPATHY• HEPATOSPLENOMEGALY• STERNAL TENDERNESS• MEDIASTENAL MASS

CRITICISM OF FAB CLASSIFICATION
1- It dose not include • Immunophenotyping• Cytogentics• Molecular characteristics2- immunological subtype of ALL3-biphenotypic leukemia4- Limited relevance to therapeutic or
prognostic implications.
WHO CLASSIFIACTION OF ALL (2008)

abnormalities• t( 9; 22) , BCR ABL1• t( v; 11q23) MLL rearangement• t (12;21) ETV6-RUNX1• With hypodiploidy• With hyperdiploidy• t (5;14) il3 –igh• t ( 1;19) E2A-PBX1 (tcf3-pbx1)3-T lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma

CD 3 MPO
1.0 CD 10 CD 1 CD 13
0.5 TdT TdT, CD 7 CD 11bCD 11c
Score above 2 from two lineage is diagnostic of biphenotypic leukemia
Uncommon variants of ALL
• Small cell variant- blast cells are small and may be mistaken for lymphocytes.
• Hand mirror variants- a subtype with cytoplasmic protrusion .
• ALL with eosinophilia• Granular cell ALL- The cells are large and
demonstrate azurophilic granulaes .
Hand mirror variants
• Peripheral Blood smear• Bone marrow aspiration smear• Cytochemistry• Immunophenotyping• Cytogenetic analysis• Molecular genetic analysis
DIAGNOSIS OF ACUTE LEUKEMIA
PERIPHERAL BLOOD EXAMINATION
• Total leucocyte count raised , normal or low.• Normocytic normochromic anaemia.• Thrombocytopenia.
• Subleukemic leukemia-Total leukocyte count is normal or low , but blast are seen in the peripheral blood.
• Aleukemic leukemia- Blast are not seen in the peripheral blood , but are demonstrable only in bone marrow.
BONE MARROW EXAMINATION
• Hypercellular• Normal hematopoietic elements diminished
ALL L1
Size – small.Cytoplasm scanty basophilic.N/C Ratio – high.Nuclear membrane – regular.
Nucleoli – invisible or indistinct.
BONE MARROW SMEAR

ALL L2
Size of blast – large & heterogenous Cytoplasm – moderate N/C Ratio – lower Cytoplasmic vacuoles – variable Nuclear membrane – irregular with clefting Nucleoli – prominent ,1-2

• Diagnosis and classification.• Assessment of prognosis.• Monitoring of minimum residual disease.
IMMUNOPHENOTYPING
• Establishment of lineage-DNA analysis.• Identification of translocation.• Detection of relapse.• Detection of minimum residual disease.
Molecular Genetics-
OTHER INVESTIGATIONS• Lumbar puncture.• Testicular biopsy.• X-Ray chest.
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
• Leukemic phase of Non Hodgkins Lymphoma• Reactive lymphocytosis due to infections• Metastatic tumours in bone marrow• AML
