| Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukaemia (MPAL) |
Background MPAL requires a diagnosis of acute leukaemia (>20% blast cells) but in which differentiation occurs along a more than one lineage lineage. This diagnosis is uncommon (2-3% of acute leukaemia).
Flow cytometry provides initial evidence of MPAL. However conclusions may subsequently be modified (e.g. by results of immunohistochemistry, cytogenetics, or genetics). It is important that the provisional nature of flow cytometry assignment of MPAL is acknowledged.
Types and frequency of MPAL types
Initial assignment:
(1) MPAL with features of Myeloid and B-lineage (MPAL M/B) (>50% cases)
(2) MPAL with features of Myeloid and T-lineage (MPAL M/T) (>33% cases)
(3) MPAL with combinations: MPAL B/T (rare) or B/T/M (very rare)
Following further analysis cases may be more specifically assigned:
(4) MPAL with t(9;22) (q34.1;q11.2); BCR-ABL1;
(5) MPAL with t(v;11q23.3); with KMT2A re-arrangement
Mixed phenotype: biphenotypic pattern, bilineal pattern and blast cell number The blast population may express markers of the two separate lineages both on the same cell (bi-phenotypic pattern) in which case blast number must exceed 20%, alternatively the blast cells may have two lineages that co-exist (bi-lineal pattern) in which case the combined blast cell number must exceed 20%.
| 1. Criteria to assign myeloid lineage | |
|---|---|
| The case should have lineage-defining features of myeloid maturation. Click here to review criteria for myeloid lineage assignment based on lineage-defining features Note: myeloid-associated lineage markers cannot be contribute to myeloid lineage assignment in MPAL. | |
| Criteria to assign B-lymphoid lineage | |
| The case should have lineage-defining features of B-lymphoid maturation. Click here to review criteria for B-lymphoid lineage assignment in MPAL Note Where T-lineage is also considered, the lineage value of CD79a is reduced so should not be considered in the lineage assignment. | |

The most important alternative diagnosis occurs in cases of My/T phenotype where ETP-ALL should specifically be considered.
