Lineage switch in acute leukemias is a well-reported occurrence; however, most of these cases involve a switch from either lymphoid to myeloid or myeloid to lymphoid lineage. Here, we report a case of a 14-year-old male with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) who initially responded well to standard chemotherapy but then later developed mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) at relapse, likely reflecting a clonal evolution of the original leukemia with a partial phenotypic shift. The patient had a del(9)(p13p21) in his leukemia blasts at diagnosis, and the deletion persisted at relapse along with multiple additional cytogenetic aberrations. Interestingly, the patient presented with an isolated testicular lesion at relapse, which on further analysis revealed both a lymphoid and myeloid component. Unfortunately, the patient did not respond well to treatment at relapse and eventually succumbed to his disease. To our knowledge, an isolated extramedullary MPAL at relapse in a patient with previously diagnosed B-ALL has not been reported in the literature before.

Abstract Objectives: Mixed-phenotype acute leukemia(MPAL) is a rare disease and comprises 2% to 5% of all acute leukemia. Outcomes for MPAL are worse than both acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML).The complex phenotype exhibited by this type of leukemia resulted in a myriad of treatment approaches.In our study, we retrospective analysis 82 patients in clinical trail, treatment strategy and prognosis. Method: eighty-two patients diagnosed with MPAL at Nan fang hospital from 2006 to 2017 using either EGIL or 2008 WHO criteria were analyzed. Comparison the treatment effect and outcomes between different therapy types. Result: eighty-two patients, including 60 males and 22 females with a median age of 29 years (range, 2 months-72 years), were studied. 61 patients (77%) were older than 18years, 73patients met the criteria for MPAL via EGIL, 68via WHO2008, and 59of these were reported to satisfy both definitions. fifty one of these cases (62.2%) had a B/myeloid phenotype, Twenty four of these cases (29.3%) had a T/myeloid phenotype. The other cases (8.5%) showed immunophenotypic evidence of a B, T, and myeloid lineage in one blast population. Among the 82 cases, 57 cases with successful cytogenetic studies, 20(35.1%) had normal karyotypes and 37patients(64.9%) had abnormal karyotypes. Twelve patients (21.05%) translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22, five (8.8%) patients had 11q23/MLL translocations. Twelve patients (21.05%) had a complex karyotype and eight patients (14%) had other karyotype. The rarity of this disease and the fact that patients with MPAL are excluded from most AML and ALL clinical trials further complicates guidance about therapy. Of the 82 cases, 75 patients underwent the complete first course of treatment and complete remission rate was 49.8%. treatment approaches utilizing therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and so-called "hybrid" therapy mixing elements of both are 51.9%, 16.7% and 66.7% respectively (P=0.003).OS and EFS with hybrid induction therapy and ALL like induction were not significantly different than those with AML induction by either definition (P>0.05). A total of 60 patients received consolidation treatment, 21 patients received the chemotherapy while 39 patients received stem cell transplant (HSC). The total Median EFS was 21months, in Chemotherapy group and HSC group, the Median EFS was 6 months and 40 months respectively, The 3-year EFS was 26.1% and 55.6% respectively (P=0.038). The total Median OS was 21 months, Median OS showed a significant survival benefit for starting with chemotherapy as compared to HSC( 12 months and 43 months respectively (P=0.001)), The 3-year OS was 19.1% and 57.7% respectively. Conclusion: In this study, ALL like induction therapy or "hybrid" therapy was associated with a more than three-fold greater CR rate than AML therapy. SCT therapy showed a trend for an association with higher OS and EFS for MPAL .

Objective: To investigate the cellular and molecular epidemiology of acute leukemias in vulnerable populations of children and adolescents in Oaxaca de Juarez, Mexico. Material and Methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective study, conducted from 2014 to 2018 in which profiles of molecular and immunophenotypic aberrations were investigated in children and adolescents diagnosed with acute leukemia, by evaluating 28 molecular abnormalities by HemaVision-Q28 multiplex RT-PCR kit and standardized EuroFlow Immunophenotyping of bone marrow cells. Results: We included 218 patients, with 82.5% younger than 14 years and 17.5% adolescents. The median age was 9 years and a main peak of incidence was recorded at age of 4 to 5 years. B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia was diagnosed in 70.64% of all cases, acute myeloid leukemia was in 22.48%, T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 6.42%, and mixed lineage acute leukemia in 0.46% of cases. Overall, chromosomal translocations were positive in 29.82% of cases. While 65.31% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia reported aberrancies, only in 18.83% of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cases genetic abnormalities were obvious. Surprisingly, most prevalent translocations in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia were t(9;22) in 20.7%, followed by t(4;11) in 17.2% and t(6;11) in 13.8%, whereas patients with acute myeloid leukemia showed t(15;17) in 40.6% and t(8;21) in 21.9%. In contrast, an homogeneous expression of t(3;21) and t(6;11) was recorded for T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and mixed lineage acute leukemia cases, respectively. Except for t(1;19), expressed only by pre-B cells, there was no association of any of the studied translocations with differentiation stages of the B-leukemic developmental pathway. Conclusion: Our findings identify near 50% of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at debut with high-risk translocations and poor prognosis in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia as well as an unexpected increase of acute myeloid leukemia cases in young children, suggesting a molecular shift that support a higher incidence of poor prognosis cases in Oaxaca.
