'Lymphoid' blast crisis of chronic myeloid leukaemia is associated with distinct clinicohaematological features.

Abstract:

:It has been suggested that in blast crisis (BC) of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) the clinical and laboratory features of patients with 'lymphoid' phenotype differ from those of patients with non-lymphoid BC. In order to assess any differences, 97 patients consecutively diagnosed with BC that followed a known chronic phase of CML were analysed. 19 patients had 'lymphoid' BC: in 17 the blasts expressed a B-lineage phenotype: in the remaining two they corresponded to T lymphoblasts. Four cases of B-lineage phenotype BC were considered as biphenotypic, due to the co-expression of myeloperoxidase and one or two other myeloid markers (CD33, CD13 and CD68) on the blast cells; in the other six cases of B-lineage BC the blasts expressed one or both of the myeloid markers CD33 (n = 4) and CD13 (n = 3). Patients with 'lymphoid' BC seldom had an accelerated phase prior to BC (1/19 v 36/78 with non-lymphoid BC, P = 0.002), had less frequent splenomegaly (9/19 v 59/78, P = 0.03) and hepatomegaly (5/19 v 45/78, P = 0.02) and showed a higher degree of marrow blast infiltration (mean value 74 +/- 24% v 38 +/- 23%, P < 0.0001), lesser blood basophilia (2.2 +/- 2.5% v 8.2 +/- 7.8%, P < 0.0001), and higher serum albumin levels (P = 0.001) than those with non-lymphoid BC. 13 patients with 'lymphoid' BC (68.4%) showed a favourable response to chemotherapy regimens including vincristine and prednisone and, overall, 'lymphoid' BC patients survived significantly longer than the remainder (median survival 12 months v 4.7 months, P = 0.006). These results indicate that 'lymphoid' BC of CML has a distinct clinicohaematological profile and confirm the better prognosis of such patients.
