Pathophysiology Case Study question about (what I think) Acute Myeloid Leukemia?
Case study that we need to answer and hoping someone could point me in right direction. Here's the info:
35 year old male complaining of anorexia, fatigue, weight loss, dyspnea on exertion and sense of abdominal fullness.
Erythrocytes 2.7 million/cu mm
Leukocytes 182,000/ cu mm
Thrombocytes 50,000/cu mm
Hematocrit 26%
Differential Count (DIFF) Lymphocytes 86% of all leukocytes
Bone Marrow Examination: A dominance of small lymphocytes (>90%). The bone marrow was so tightly packed that it was difficult to perform a needle aspiration. The spleen was also moderately enlarged, and there was a generalized lymph node enlargement.
I think it is Acute Myeloid Leukemia, but am not sure? Any help from anyone???
Thanks!

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. This does not effect kids, more likely in men, all of the symptoms match to a tee! I hope this helps:) Good Luck!

Acute leukemia is defined as greater than 30% blasts in the bone marrow. It is not acute leukemia based on the bone marrow examination and on the peripheral blood differential which showed 86% lymphocytes.
The findings are consistent with stage IV chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
