In chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) some data indicate derivation of T-cells from the leukemic clone and only a few cases of T-derived blastic crisis have been reported and quite often disputed. Particularly in cases identified initially in blastic crisis it may be difficult to distinguish those from Ph1-positive T-ALL. We herein report 2 patients who presented with a clinical picture of Ph1-positive T-ALL and who raised a differential diagnosis from T-cell blastic crisis of CML. We review the literature and suggest clinical and laboratory features that can help in the diagnosis. According to our literature review, 23 cases of Ph1-positive T-ALL and 44 cases of T-cell blastic crisis of CML, including ours, were reported. Some major differences between the two entities could help in establishing a diagnosis of Ph1-positive T-cell blastic crisis of CML vs. Ph1-positive T-ALL: Male sex and younger age was more predominant in T-ALL. While in most cases of CML blastic crisis there was a history of CML there was no such history in the T-ALL cases. Medullary involvement with lymphoblastic leukemia was present in all cases of T-ALL but only in about half of the cases of CML blastic crisis. None of the CML-blastic crisis cases tested by RT-PCR showed the minor breakpoint transcript, while 2 cases with T-ALL had the minor breakpoint transcript and 1 had both transcripts. Combined morphologic and FISH analysis can help to distinguish between the two entities and was applied in one of our cases. Although both entities carry a severe prognosis, differentiating between them might have clinical relevance, especially in the imatinib era.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000084448","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,5,4]],"date-time":"2005-05-04T08:47:15Z","timestamp":1115196435000},"page":"181-189","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":61,"title":["Philadelphia-Chromosome-Positive
