Abstract
Objectives: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is caused by the arrested differentiation and dysregulated proliferation of myeloid precursors. Many AMLs harbor genetic abnormalities which determine the molecular mechanisms of the disease and are associated with distinct clinical and pathological features, prognosis, and targeted therapies. We present a case of acute myeloid leukemia with t(6;9)(p23;q34.1) and review the classic clinical presentations and underlying pathogenesis of the disease.
