Abstract Cases of myeloid surface antigen-negative acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are rare. We describe the morphological, cytochemical, immunologic, and cytogenetic features of two patients with AML with maturation (FAB M2) and the phenotype MPO+, CD13 (–), CD33(–), CD56(+). Cytogenetic studies demonstrated t(8;21)(q22;q22). These findings suggest an association between the lack of CD13 and CD33 in myeloperoxidase-positive AML and the presence of t(8;21).
