Overview

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia may be classified according to either the French-American-British (FAB) classification or World Health Organization (WHO) classification scheme. According to the French-American-British (FAB) classification, acute lymphoblastic leukemia may be classified into 3 subgroups: ALL-L1 (small uniform cells), ALL-L2 (large varied cells) and ALL-L3 (large varied cells with vacuoles). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), acute lymphoblastic leukemia may also be classified into 3 subgroups: B lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, B lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (not organ specific), and B lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma with recurrent genetic abnormalities.

Classification

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia may be classified according to either the French-American-British (FAB) classification system or the World Health Organization (WHO) classification system:

French-American-British Classification System

According to the French-American-British classification system, acute lymphoblastic leukemia is classified into 3 subgroups based on the cellular origin of the disease, cellular maturity, and morphology:^[1]^[2]

ALL-L1: small uniform cells
ALL-L2: large varied cells
ALL-L3: large varied cells with vacuoles (bubble-like features)

Each subtype is further classified based on immunophenotyping (the presence of surface markers of the abnormal lymphocytes). There are 2 main immunologic types:

Pre-B cell^[3]
Pre-T cell^[4]

The mature B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (L3) is called Burkitt leukemia/lymphoma.

World Health Organization Classification System

The World Health Organization (WHO) classification of acute lymphoblastic leukemia is based on the prognosis of the disease. According to the WHO classification system, acute lymphoblastic leukemia may be classified into 3 subgroups:^[5]^[6]^[7]

Group 1

B lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma

Group 2

B lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (Not organ specific)

Group 3

B lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma with recurrent genetic abnormalities:

B lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma with t(9;22)(q34;q11.2), BCR-ABL1
B lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma with t(v;11q23); MLL rearranged
B lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma with t(12;21)(p13;q22) TEL-AML1 (ETV6-RUNX1)
B lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma with hyperdiploidy
B lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma with hypodiploidy
B lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma with t(5;14)(q31;q32) IL3-IGH
B lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma with t(1;19)(q23;p13.3) TCF3-PBX1

 == Overview ==
-Acute lymphoblastic leukemia may be classified according to the French-American-British classification (FAB) and World Health Organization classification (WHO). The French-American-British classification is divided into 3 groups:  ALL-L1: small uniform cells, ALL-L2: large varied cells, ALL-L3: large varied cells with [[vacuole]]s (bubble-like features). The World Health Organization classification is divided into three 3 too: B lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, B lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (Not organ specific), B lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma with recurrent genetic abnormalities.
