title: [Morphofunctional characteristics of blasts in lymphoblastic leukemia and lymphoblastic lymphosarcoma].
abstract: The authors investigated morphocytochemical and immunological indices of blast cells of 81 patients with acute leukemia and 70 patients with lymphosarcoma at the stage of leukemization. Blast cells in acute leukemia were shown to have the phenotype of early hemopoietic precursors whereas in lymphosarcoma blasts were more differentiated. Morphologically in leukemia blasts were characterized by homogeneity, and in lymphosarcoma by considerable polymorphism and a higher mitotic activity.
