Among 246 patients (49 with Hodgkin's disease, 29 with multiple myeloma, 75 with other lympho- and immunoproliferative syndromes, 70 with carcinomas and 23 with non-malignant affections) treated by cytostatic or immunosuppressive chemotherapy, 6 developed malignant hemopathy (acute myeloblastic leukemia, erythroleukemia and erythremia) apparently induced during the last 7 1/2 years. In addition, 2 carcinomas have been noted. All have received melphalan or chlorambucil, alone or associated with other cytostatic drugs. 5 out of these 6 patients also underwent radiotherapy. The lenght of chemotherapy ranged between 7 and 110 months and the latency between 45 and 110 months. A "preleukemic" cytopenia phase was observed in 4 out of 6 cases. An exceptional 45-month survival was secured in case 1 (acute myeloblastic leukemia in a patient probably cured of Hodgkin's disease IIIB). Observation 2 is the 3rd case ever published of induced acute leukemia in disseminated lupus erythematosus. All these observations are compared with the latest findings in the literature. To the very extent that the utilization of cytostatic drugs produces improvement in the prognosis of very serious diseases, their leukemogenic potential becomes more dangerous and demands limitation of their use.

Ionizing radiation used for diagnosis or therapy has been associated with an increased incidence of malignancies of blood-forming organs. The increased incidence of hematopoietic malignancies following exposure to ionizing radiation obtained in the course of occupation, diagnosis and therapy of disease, or as a weapon of war is documented. The natural occurrence and the induced progression to acute leukemia of polycythemia rubra vera, Hodgkin's disease, multiple myeloma, Di Guglielmo's disease, and reticuloendothelial malignancies are discussed. The status of transplantation and immunodeficiency states and their relationship to acute leukemia is reviewed. Finally, drugs, toxins, and the use of cytotoxic radiomimetic agents for nonmalignant purposes are shown to lead to the development of acute leukemia. Background information relevant to the proper use of future diagnostic and therapeutic modalities is provided.

Diarrhoea caused by Campylobacter infection in two adult patients was observed: one with erythroleukemia, and another with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. An infection developed in both cases during the period of agranulocytosis and decreased specific immunologic response to cytostatics. In case of the second patient, it has also been due to the underlying disease. The course of the disease has been different in both patient. It was dramatic with high fever and multiple fetid stools in one patient, and mild, successfully treated within a few days, in the second.

Immunohistochemical detection of intracellular myeloperoxidase, a major constituent of primary granules of neutrophilic myeloid cells, was determined in paraffin sections of 161 specimens using a rabbit polyclonal antibody to human myeloperoxidase and an indirect immunoperoxidase technique. In normal tissues and in a variety of myeloproliferative disorders, myeloid cells of both neutrophilic and eosinophilic types, at all stages of maturation, exhibited strong cytoplasmic reactivity for myeloperoxidase. Myeloperoxidase was readily detected in myeloblasts and immature myeloid cells of acute myelogenous leukemia, progranulocytic leukemia, monomyelocytic leukemia, erythroleukemia, myeloblastomas, and other hematopoietic disorders. Erythroid precursors, megakaryocytes. other hematopoietic disorders. Erythroid precursors, megakaryocytes, lymphoid cells, mast cells, and plasma cells were nonreactive. Cells of monocytic derivation revealed variable reactivity and were typically weakly positive or nonreactive. In a few specimens, rare histiocytes were reactive, some possibly due to phagocytosed material. Cells comprising the infiltrate of a spectrum of lymphoid malignancies, e.q., lymphoblastic lymphoma or leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, hairy cell leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphomas of T- or B-cell type, and Hodgkin's disease, were nonreactive, as were the non-neoplastic tissues present in these specimens, except for occasional cells of myeloid derivation. Myeloperoxidase was not observed in the neoplastic cells of a wide variety of epithelial tumors and sarcomas, or in the contiguous non-neoplastic tissues. Immunoreactivity for myeloperoxidase was well preserved following fixation in a variety of fixatives, including Zenker's-acetic acid solution (employed for processing bone marrow biopsies), B5 solution, and formalin. Immunohistochemical detection of myeloperoxidase represents a sensitive and highly specific technique for identification of mature and immature myeloid cells in paraffin-embedded tissue.

We report a case of erythroleukemia (EL;FAB M6), preceded by a myelodysplastic phase, in a 50-year-old male 8 years after treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma. Cytogenetic analysis of bone marrow at time of diagnosis of EL revealed three cell lines: 1) 28 of 53 cells (53%) were hypodiploid, 43,XY,-5,-7,-12; 2) 23 of 53 cells (43%) were near-triploid, stemline 67-69,XY,+2,del(5)(q11.2),+del(5)(q11.2),+6,-7,+8,-9,-11,-12,+15,-16,der (17)t (17;?) (p11.2;?),-18,-20,-20,+22,+r, + mar (relative to a complete triploid cell); 3) 2 of 53 cells (4%) were normal 46,XY. The relative monosomies of 5, 7, and 12 in both abnormal lines suggest that the near-triploid line evolved from the hypodiploid line. A single hypodiploid cell with both del(5) and der(17) chromosomes that appeared identical to those in the near-triploid line suggests that polyploidization occurred after these structural rearrangements. While EL is not characterized by any well-defined structural abnormality, reported cases are frequently hypodiploid, with occasional cases of polyploidization, as in our patient, EL in adults without previous neoplasia or recognized mutagenic exposure has been shown to have loss or deletion of chromosomes 5 and 7, also characteristic of myelodysplastic syndromes and secondary leukemia. Our patient had a relative lack of chromosomes 5 and 7 in both abnormal clones, as well as a del(5)(q11) in the near-triploid line. This case of EL clearly demonstrates the evolution of a complex near-triploid line from a hypodiploid line, with chromosome abnormalities typical of both EL and secondary leukemia.

Peanut agglutinin (PNA) binding glycoproteins from four Hodgkin's disease (HD)-derived cell lines and a variety of cell lines/peripheral blood cells representative of the lymphoid and myeloid lineages were identified by probing nitrocellulose membranes of SDS-PAGE separated NP40 solubilized cellular glycoproteins with [125I]-labelled PNA. The two Hodgkin's cell lines Ho and L428 demonstrated the most heterogeneous glycoprotein profiles each expressing 15 PNA binding glycoproteins, respectively. The two remaining Hodgkin's lines Co and L591 expressed only four glycoproteins each and these were all also commonly expressed by Ho and L428. Comparative analysis with all other cell types studied revealed the expression of five glycoproteins restricted to Ho (gp42, gp40, gp38, gp24 and gp22) and six restricted to L428 (gp180, gp75, gp40, gp38, gp24 and gp22). Four of these, gp40, gp38, gp24 and gp22 were commonly expressed by both Ho and L428. Of cell lines of myeloid lineage studied only the erythroleukemia cell line K562 expressed detectable glycoproteins also expressed by some of the Hodgkin's cell lines (gp110, gp96, gp50 and gp45). Only one glycoprotein, gp20 expressed by Ho was also commonly expressed by normal peripheral blood granulocytes. This limited study has thus succeeded in demonstrating for the range of cell types studied, that some glycoproteins with terminal D-galactose beta (1----3) N-acetyl galactosamine oligosaccharide sequences are apparently restricted to two of the HD cell lines. Moreover, the heterogeneous glycoprotein profiles obtained for the HD cell lines Ho and L428 suggests that galactosylation processes in these two cell lines is aberrant.

The cells from 87 leukemia-lymphoma cell lines, 14 B-lymphoblastoid cell lines, 459 cases of leukemia-lymphoma, normal specimens, 22 leukemia-lymphoma cell lines treated with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) and 14 cases of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) treated with TPA were analyzed for the expression of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TracP) isoenzyme separated by isoelectric focusing. The TracP isoenzyme was seen in the following leukemia-lymphoma cell lines: 4 of 30 T-cell, 2 of 35 B-cell, 1 of 6 non-T/non-B-cell, 1 of 8 myelomonocytic, 3 of 4 erythroleukemia, and 3 of 4 Hodgkin's disease-derived cell lines. The expression of the TracP band could be induced by treatment with TPA in 3 myelomonocytic leukemia cell lines. Among the different types of leukemia-lymphoma cells freshly obtained from patients, the TracP isoenzyme was detected at a high incidence in cases of B-CLL, hairy cell leukemia (HCL), and B-lymphoma. Of the myeloid leukemias, 10% to 20% displayed the TracP isoenzyme. TracP positivity was detected in the peripheral blood, tonsil, bone marrow, spleen, and liver obtained from healthy donors, but not in the thymus. The expression of the TracP band could be newly induced by TPA in cases of CLL and in cases of CML. It is concluded that TracP activity is not specific for HCL, but is found at high incidences in cases of HCL, B-CLL and B-lymphoma. The TracP isoenzyme is not expressed by very immature lymphoid leukemia cells, but by cells arrested at later stages of differentiation of the T- or B-cell lineage, and by some myeloid cells.

Therapy-related acute nonlymphocytic leukemias occur with increasing frequency owing to modern aggressive antineoplastic therapies. Out of 3,138 bone marrow trephine biopsies, there were 148 cases of acute nonlymphocytic leukemias. Of these, 14 cases occurred 30-156 months following chemotherapy or radiotherapy or both for malignant disease. The male/female ratio was 0.27 (vs. 1.6 of "de novo" leukemias). Primary malignancies (7 Hodgkin's disease, 1 fibrosarcoma and 6 carcinomas) had been treated with chemotherapy+radiotherapy (10 cases), with chemotherapy alone (3 cases) or with radiotherapy alone (1 case) and were apparently cured. All therapy-related leukemias were heralded by a preleukemic cytopenic phase. Response to therapy was poor (mean survival 3.9 months). Bone marrow histopathological findings showed in 13 cases acute myelo- or monoblastic leukemia and in 1 case erythroleukemia. Out of 21 biopsies, there were increased numbers of abnormal megakaryocytes in 10, megaloblastic dyserythropoiesis in 7, and fibrosis in 13 (moderate in 11 cases and severe in 2, with dry tap). Therapy-related acute leukemia appears to be a distinct clinical-pathological entity. Bone marrow trephine biopsy is useful because of the frequency of fibrosis, the possibility of dry tap, and the characteristic histopathological findings that make diagnosis possible also in the preleukemic phase.

14 patients developed acute nonlymphocytic leukemia and 1 patient developed Burkitt's leukemia following longterm chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy for other disorders. The main primary disorders included multiple myeloma, Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and breast carcinoma. Acute leukemia developed earlier in patients treated by chemotherapy with or without radiotherapy than in patients treated by radiotherapy alone (63 months, range 24-132 months; 201 months, range 48 months to 30 years, respectively). 13 patients presented without organomegaly and 8 were pancytopenic. Abnormalities of myeloid and erythroid cell lines were observed in the majority of the patients. A high rate of acute erythroleukemia (5 out of 14) was found. Increased reticulin fibers were found in 3 patients. The leukemia was invariably refractory to treatment with a median survival of 4 months. The possible role of preexisting abnormal marrow structure in the development of therapy-related leukemia is discussed.

A case of erythroleukemia developing in a patient 6.5 years after therapy for Hodgkin's disease (HD) is described. The patient had chemotherapy alone for a stage III B lymphocyte-predominant HD. He received six cycles MOPP-induction therapy followed by a chlorambucil maintenance therapy with procarbazine and prednisone reinforcements. To our knowledge this is the first case of erythroleukemia following HD treated with chemotherapy alone.
