title: E rosetting by leukemic monoblasts. A possible mechanism.
abstract: Occasional cases of acute monoblastic leukemia have been reported to have unusual immunologic properties such as the capacity to form heat stable E-rosettes, a marker usually associated with T-cell acute leukemia. This case report describes such a patient and postulates a possible mechanism for the anomalous E rosetting.
