Abstract excerpt
We evaluate the haematopathologic features of systemic mastocytosis associated with acute myeloid leukaemia (SM-AML) and the prognostic role of c-KIT mutation. Total 11 patients were enrolled. Cytochemistry using toluidine blue and tryptase was positive, as was immunohistochemistry for CD117 and CD25 on clustered mast cells; however, CD2 was expressed in only nine cases. In 10 cases, RUNX1-RUNX1T1 fusion gene was...
