Identification of circulating micromegakaryocytes in a case of erythroleukemia.
A 26-year-old man with erythroleukemia was found to have circulating micromegakaryocytes . Megakaryocytic features were defined by morphologic and cytochemical studies using light and electron microscopy with platelet-megakaryocyte peroxidase staining. This appears to be the first reported instance of erythroleukemia with circulating micromegakaryocytes .
