What is APML? Acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APML) is a rare sub-type of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and is sometimes referred to as AML M31. APML accounts for only 10% of all AML diagnoses. In APML, immature abnormal neutrophils (a type of white blood cell) known as promyelocytes accumulate in the bone marrow.
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APML, APL) is a subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a cancer of the white blood cells. In APL, there is an abnormal accumulation of immature granulocytes called promyelocytes.
C92. 4 - Acute promyelocytic leukemia. ICD-10-CM.
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a unique subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in which cells in the bone marrow that produce blood cells (red cells, white cells and platelets) do not develop and function normally.
APL is a type of blood cancer that affects cells called promyelocytes, which are white blood cells at an early stage of development.
APML is diagnosed by examining samples of your blood and bone marrow.Full blood count. The first step in diagnosis is a simple blood test called a full blood count (FBC) or complete blood count (CBC). ... Bone marrow examination. ... Further testing. ... Other tests.
Causes. The mutation that causes acute promyelocytic leukemia involves two genes, the PML gene on chromosome 15 and the RARA gene on chromosome 17. A rearrangement of genetic material (translocation) between chromosomes 15 and 17, written as t(15;17), fuses part of the PML gene with part of the RARA gene.
Prompt diagnosis and treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), the M3 subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), is very important because patients with APL can quickly develop life-threatening blood-clotting or bleeding problems if not treated.
Differentiation syndrome usually occurs within 1 to 2 weeks after starting treatment, but it can occur later. It is caused by a large, rapid release of cytokines (immune substances) from leukemia cells that are affected by the anticancer drugs.
Of the several kinds of therapy-related leukemia, therapy-related acute promyelocytic leukemia (t-APL) is most closely associated with topoisomerase II inhibitor administration for treatment of malignancies in adults.
A promyelocyte (or progranulocyte) is a granulocyte precursor, developing from the myeloblast and developing into the myelocyte.
There are 4 main types of leukemia, based on whether they are acute or chronic, and myeloid or lymphocytic:Acute myeloid (or myelogenous) leukemia (AML)Chronic myeloid (or myelogenous) leukemia (CML)Acute lymphocytic (or lymphoblastic) leukemia (ALL)Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm. Morphology [Histology] Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, ...
An acute myeloid leukemia (aml) characterized by blasts with evidence of maturation to more mature neutrophils. Patients often present with anemia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia. Aml with the t (8;21) is usually aml with maturation.
The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes. Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries.
Raeb-t used to be a subcategory of myelodysplastic syndromes in the past. Recently, the term has been eliminated from the who based classification of myelodysplastic syndromes. The reason is that the percentage of peripheral blood blasts required for the diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia has been reduced to 20%.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.

There are two variants: the typical and microgranular variant. This aml is particularly sensitive to treatment with all trans-retinoic acid and has a favorable prognosis. (who, 2001) An acute myeloid leukemia in which abnormal promyelocytes predominate.
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APML, APL) is the M3 subtype of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), a cancer of the white blood cells. In APL, there is an abnormal accumulation of immature granulocytes called promyelocytes.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code C92.41 and a single ICD9 code, 205.01 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APML, APL) is the M3 subtype of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), a cancer of the white blood cells. In APL, there is an abnormal accumulation of immature granulocytes called promyelocytes. The disease is characterized by a chromosomal translocation involving the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARα or RARA) gene and is distinguished from other forms of AML by its responsiveness to all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA; also known as tretinoin) therapy. Acute promyelocytic leukemia was first characterized in 1957 by French and Norwegian physicians as a hyperacute fatal illness. Currently it is one of the most treatable forms of leukemia with a 12-year progression-free survival rate that is estimated to be approximately 70%.

The ICD code C920 is used to code Acute myeloid leukemia.

AML is the most common acute leukemia affecting adults, and its incidence increases with age. Although AML is a relatively rare disease, accounting for roughly 1.2% of cancer deaths in the United States, its incidence is expected to increase as the population ages.
