INTRODUCTION Careful morphologic study of a Wright-stained film of blood and bone marrow by a skilled microscopist*1 reveals the laboratory evidence of a probable leukemia*2. The presence of abnormal cells, particularly undifferentiated cells or immature cells of any series, indicates the possibility of a malignant process. Recent advances in chemotherapy make accurate identification of cell types in leukemia more advantageous in the treatment of the patient. Morphologic examination of a Wright-stained smear can often provide the hematologist or oncologist with clues*3 to the probable cellular origin of the leukemic process through observation of certain characteristics, such as Auer rods, primary granules in early granulocytes, or nuclear convolutions in early monocytes. However, if only undifferentiated cells are present, morphology alone cannot accurately identify the nature of the abnormal cell*4. The development of histochemistry and the application of histochemical techniques to blood and marrow cells have brought into focus*5 the use of cytochemistry in clinical hematology to enhance the information gained from the cellular pattern revealed in Wright-stained preparations in most, but not all, cases of leukemia.
