Mediastinal teratoma and acute megakaryoblastic leukemia.
The association between mediastinal teratoma and acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL) in a 15-year-old boy is described. The clinical course is compared with 20 previously reported cases of AMKL in children. Chromosome studies at diagnosis of the leukemia showed multiple leukemic stem lines with numerical and structural abnormalities.
