title: [Classification of ninety-eight adult cases of acute leukemia according to morphology, immunology and cytogenetics].
abstract: Ninety-eight cases of adult acute leukemia (AL) were diagnosed and classified based on morphologic, immunologic and cytogenetic (MIC) features. The results showed that: the conformity rate of cytomorphologic/cytochemical classification with MIC classification was 90.8%. For ALL, the conformity rate of immunologic classification with MIC classification was 95.6%, but it was only 70.8% for AML. Of the 48 AML, 10 expressed lymphoid lineage, associated antigens and 8 of 43 ALL expressed myeloid lineage-associated antigens. Seven cases were diagnosed as hybrid acute leukemia according to Catovsky criterion. The chromosome aberrations were found in 70 cases, of them 46 cases showed characteristic abnormalities including t(9;22), t(4;11), t(11;14), t(8;12), t(8;14), 6q-, 9p-, and t(15;17), t(8;21), inv(16), etc.
