abstract：:Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is considered to be a pleuripotential stem cell disorder with the capacity to differentiate into myeloid, erythroid, megakaryocytic, and lymphoid cell lines. Consequently, blast crisis (BC) involving each of the above lineages has been well described. Among lymphoblastic crises, differen...
