This case represents an example of an unusual T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma syndrome associated with eosinophilia and myeloid malignancy in a young boy. This case is one of only five reported "leukemic" variants of the disease and demonstrates the importance of considering this poor prognostic diagnosis in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia. This case also illustrates the importance of an interactive multidisciplinary approach to the laboratory evaluation of a leukemia patient.
