Differentiating Acute promyelocytic meukemia from other Diseases

Acute promyelocytic leukemia can be distinguished from other types of AML based on morphologic examination of a bone marrow biopsy or aspirate. Definitive diagnosis requires testing for the RARα fusion gene. This may be done by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), or conventional cytogenetics of peripheral blood or bone marrow.


Characteristic Causes Laboratory abnormalities Physical examination Therapy Other associations
Acute promyelocytic leukemia
  • Prior exposure to alkylating agents
  • Prior exposure to topoisomerase II inhibitors
  • Translocation between chromosomes 15 and 17
  • Creation of PML-RARalphagene product
  • Differentiation block in myeloid cells
  • Presence of Auer rods in promyelocytes
  • High risk for early death from hemorrhagic complications
Acute myeloid leukemia
  • Chromosomal instability
  • Sporadic mutations
  • Prior exposure to benzene
  • Prior exposure to alkylating agents
