myeloid or lymphoid, of the malignant cells that grow uncontrolled, but some are mixed and for those such an assignment is not possible.[1]
Forms of acute leukemia include:
- Acute myeloid leukemia,[2] a rare form of which is acute erythroid leukemia.[3]
- Acute lymphoblastic leukemia[4] including T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.[5] Types of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia include adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma[6][7][8] and (precursor) T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma.
- Blast crisis of chronic myelogenous leukemia.
