Acute inclusion-body leukemia. Case report and review of literature.
An unusual case of acute leukemia with basophilic cytoplasmic inclusion bodies in a child is described. Certain aspects of the case suggested a lymphoblastic phenotype and others a myeloid origin. The inclusions stained positively for acid phosphatase and toluidine blue. Too few patients have been reported to determine the prognostic significance of acute leukemia with inclusion bodies.
