Acute myelomonocytic leukaemia with abnormal eosinophils and inversion of chromosome 16.
We report a further case of a recently recognized variety of acute myelomonocytic leukaemia (M4 subtype) with bone marrow eosinophilia and inversion of chromosome 16. The eosinophils showed a distinctly abnormal morphology, cytochemical staining and ultrastructure.
