Is B-Lineage Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia With a Mature Phenotype and L1 Morphology a Precursor B-Lymphoblastic Leukemia/Lymphoma or Burkitt Leukemia/Lymphoma?

Abstract

B-lineage ALL with a mature phenotype, L1 morphology, and absent chromosomal translocations involving the c-myc gene is best classified and managed as precursor B-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma instead of Burkitt leukemia/lymphoma.
