RESUMEN
A 42-year-old male with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) developed acute transformation associated with subcutaneous tumors. Histopathologic examinations of the tumors were done on two occasions; the first study revealed reticulum cell sarcoma-like features, and the second suggested a blastoma. Chromosomal analysis showed that the cells of the tumors originated from the CML clone. The cells had a negative reaction for myeloperoxidase by electron microscopy. Furthermore, biochemical and surface marker studies revealed that the tumor cells contained a significant terminal transferase activity. However, they did not express E- or EAC-rosette receptors, Ia-like antigens, or common ALL antigens.
