Abstract
We report here a patient with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) expressing both T- and B-lymphoid-associated antigens. The leukemia cells in this case had rearrangements of not only immunoglobulin heavy-chain but also T-cell-receptor beta- and delta-chain genes. Although a relatively large number of AML patients with lymphoid markers have been reported, only about a dozen AML patients expressing both T- and B-lymphoid markers have been reported so far.
