Immunophenotyping has a recognised role in the diagnosis and classification of acute leukaemia.12 AML has an age adjusted incidence of 3.7/100,000 per annum in US with highest incidence in 7th decade.3 AML can occur at any age group but the incidence increases with age.2 The mean age in our study was 32 years similar to Harani et al.5; However, in some other studies mean age was more than our study ranging from 35 to 47 years.(2,3,13-15) Childhood AML comprised 27.3% in our study while adult AML comprised 72% which was slightly different from Gosh study.
