RESUMO
Herein, we present a rare case of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with CBFA2T3-rearrangement and the expression of megakaryocytic and lymphoid markers, highlighting the need for a high suspicion index in differential diagnosis and applying adequate workup to avoid misdiagnosing this entity. CBFA2T3::GLIS2-positive AML is primarily found in infants with non-down syndrome acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (non-DSAMKL). Flow cytometry immunophenotyping plays an important role in recognizing the unique immunophenotype of bright CD56 expression with dim/negative expression of HLA-DR, CD38, and CD45 termed the RAM immunophenotype in this entity. Still, CBFA2T3::GLIS2-positive acute leukemia with T/megakaryocytic markers could be misdiagnosed as T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, early T-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, NK lymphoblastic leukemia, AML with minimal differentiation, or AML with myelodysplasia-related changes.
