One hundred cases of adult AML were classified cytomorphologically (FAB-classification) and cytochemically (LOEFFLER'S classification). From this combined analysis it could be shown that some corrections have to be made in the FAB-classification; particularly groups M-1 and M-4 had to be reclassified. The authors, therefore, advocate that the final FAB-classification should be the result of cytomorphologic as well as cytochemical analysis.
