Figure

• 

  Fig. 1 (A) Bone marrow aspiration shows the presence of 64% blasts with high N/C ratio, scant cytoplasm, fine chromatin, and prominent nucleoli. (B) Radiographs of skull (C) pelvis (D) vertebrae showing multiple osteolytic lesions.

• 

  Fig. 2 The blasts population showed expression of CD19, TdT, and CD79a, consistent with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
