Abstract

Mixed phenotypic acute leukemia (MPAL) represents a very rare and heterogeneous group of acute leukemias comprising 2-5 % of all leukemias. Although WHO 2008 laid down stringent criteria for diagnosis these still pose a diagnostic challenge as It encompasses leukemias having separate populations of blasts of more than one lineage or a single population of blasts which co-express antigens of more than one lineage. Cytogenetics plays a major role not only in diagnosis but also determines the therapy and prognosis. We present a case of far unreported karyotype aberration in this type of acute leukemia 45, XY, -8, del (9)(p21),-11,add(12)(p13),add (16)(p13.3),+mar[20]with therapy-resistant course.
