Acute Undifferentiated Leukaemia (AUL): basics

Acute Undifferentiated Leukaemia (AUL): diagnosis

What features must be met to diagnose acute undifferentiated leukaemia

Requirement 1

No lineage can be assigned by lineage-defining markers of myeloid, B-lymphoid or T-lymphoid lineage Review Criteria: Myeloid B-Lymphoid T-Lymphoid

Requirement 2

Ensure that other conditions that may resemble undifferentiated acute leukaemia are excluded: particularly consider whether marker patterns suggest any of the following: acute megakaryocytic leukaemia Non haematopoietic tumours Blastic plasma dendritic cell neoplasm Plasma cell leukaemia

Requirement 3

Consider whether the case may be better described as Acute Leukaemia of Ambiguous Lineage - not otherwise specified (ALAL-NOS) - see guidance Acute leukaemia of ambiguous lineage, not otherwise specified
