==Definition / Description of Disease==
An acute leukemia with blasts that are immunophenotypically ambiguous for any one hematopoietic lineage. AUL is a diagnosis of exclusion that is incompatible with the presence of features that meet the criteria for inclusion in any of the other AML groups (i.e. AML with Recurrent Genetic Abnormalities, AML with Myelodysplasia-Related Changes, or Therapy-Related Myeloid Neoplasms). 
To support an undifferentiated phenotype, AUL requires an immunophenotypic work up that “excludes unusual lineages such as plasmacytoid dendritic cell precursors, natural killer precursors, basophils, and non-hematologic cells”<ref name=":0">Borowitz MJ, et al., (2017). Acute leukaemias of ambiguous lineage, in World Health Organization Classification of Tumours of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues, Revised 4th edition. Swerdlow SH, Campo E, Harris NL, Jaffe ES, Pileri SA, Stein H, Thiele J, Arber DA, Hasserjian RP, Le Beau MM, Orazi A, and Siebert R, Editors. IARC Press: Lyon, France, p182.</ref>.
==Synonyms / Terminology==
Blast cell leukemia, stem cell leukemia, stem cell acute leukemia, undifferentiated leukemia.
==Epidemiology / Prevalence==
Very rare; precise frequency unknown.

==Sites of Involvement==
Bone marrow and peripheral blood. AUL is so rare, it is unknown if there is a pattern of other sites of involvement.
==Morphologic Features==
AUL blast morphology is bland and non-specific. Cytoplasmic granulation and disease defining morphology are absent.
