AB Acute  myelogenous  leukemia  (AML)  is  a  malignancy  originating  in  a  multipotential  hematopoietic  cell  characterized  by  clonal  proliferation  of  abnormal  blast  cells  in  the  marrow  and  impaired  production  of  normal  blood  cells,  resulting  in  anemia;  thrombocytopenia;  and  low,  normal,  or  high  white  cell  counts  depending  on  the  number  of  leukemic  cells  in  the  blood.  It  occurs  in  nine  morphologic  variants,  each  with  characteristic  cytologic,  genetic,  and  sometimes  clinical  features.
