title: [Characterization of morphologic, cytochemical and immunological features in myeloperoxidase negative acute myeloid leukaemia].
abstract: Ten cases of acute myeloperoxidase-negative myeloid leukaemia (AML) were reported. They had no typical mopholocid negative for lymphocic features and were negative antigens. However 5 cases were positive for NSE/NaF stain. 9 of the 10 cases expressed more than one myeloid antigens. The authors are of the opinion that it is very difficult to diagnose myeloperoxidase-negative AML and combination of cytochemical and immunological techniques is recommended in this respect.
