General description

Hemoglobin alpha chain belongs to the globin family and is involved in oxygen transport from the lung to the various peripheral tissues. Hemoglobin A is comprised of two alpha chains and two beta chains, whereas hemoglobin A2 is comprised of two alpha chains and two delta chains. Immunohistochemical localization of hemoglobin is excellent as an erythroid marker for the detection of immature, dysplastic, and megaloblastic erythroid cells in myeloproliferative disorders, such as erythroleukemia. In contrast, myeloid cells, lymphoid cells, plasma cells, histiocytes, and megakaryocytes stain negative with anti-hemoglobin A. Anti-hemoglobin A, combined with antibodies against CD34, CD117, CD68, and MPO can be helpful in distinguishing between reactive extramedullary hematopoiesis and that seen in neoplastic myeloid disorders in spleen. Anti-hemoglobin A is limited to expression by erythroid precursors in bone marrow and is therefore of assistance in calculating percentages of erythroid precursors.

Accurate bone marrow (BM) blast counts (BCs) are essential for diagnosis (dx) of myelodysplasia (MDS), MDS/myeloproliferative (MDS/MPD) disease, or acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and may be difficult in hemodiluted bone marrow aspirates (BMAs). Erythroid precursors (EPs) may be indistinguishable from

Spleen is a common site of extramedullary hematopoiesis. Extramedullary hematopoiesis seen in non-neoplastic conditions can occasionally be extensive and raise concerns for a myeloid neoplasm. We compared the morphologic and immunohistochemical features of splenic hematopoietic proliferations seen in neoplastic myeloid
