Bone marrow examination revealed that 90% of erythroblasts were large with periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-positive staining while flow cytometry and immunostaining revealed CD71 (+), GP-A (+), p53 (+), CD117 (+), and CD34 (-) results, indicating pure erythroid leukemia (PEL) diagnosis. This evidence concerns the gene TFRC and primary effusion lymphoma.
