His bone marrow revealed 36% blasts of all total nucleated cells and 23% plasma cells. The blasts were MPO, NSE negative while showed positivity for Acid Phosphatase and granular positivity for PAS. On Flow cytometry the blasts were bright CD 45 positive showing positivity for cCD3, CD 5, TdT, CD 33. On Immunohistochemistry there were increased immature cells which showed psotitvity for Tdt.
