Abstract:

Morphology assessment is an important tool in the diagnosis of acute leukaemia. However, it must be interpreted together with other supportive methods. Proper examination of blood and bone marrow smears together with clinical correlation will provide information to select more specialized tests. Here, we would like to discuss the role of morphology in the molecular era. Selected clinical cases will be shown. These cases will highlight the role of morphology which can lead to the most probable provisional diagnosis. Specific morphological appearances will guide us to choose appropriate phenotypic and molecular markers to achieve definitive diagnosis.
