The use of recombinant granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) alone is attractive for the collection of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) in several malignancies. In acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML), not enough experience has been gained with rhG-CSF and leukapheresis is more common after recovery from antileukemia chemotherapy. This is the case report of a patient who received rhG-CSF alone to mobilize stem cells where the cells collected in the leukapheresis bag had a blastic immunophenotype.
