Lymphoblastic leukemia with surface light chain restriction: A diagnostic dilemma

Surface light chain expression is a feature of mature B-cell neoplasms. Light chain restriction in precursor B acute lymphoblastic leukemia is infrequently seen. We report a case of a 28-year-old female with non-FAB L3 morphology blasts and immunophenotypic features showing overlap between a precurs...
