We performed flow cytometric analysis by using the CD45/SSC (CD45<SUP>low</SUP>/SSC<SUP>low</SUP>) gating method in 5 bone marrow (BM) samples with low percentages of blasts at the disease onset. The surface marker profiles in 4 cases (ALL 2, MDS 1, NHL 1) at the onset proved almost identical to those at the final diagnosis. In the last case, however, the patient was diagnosed as having neuroblastoma (CD45 negative) despite a B-cell precursor phenotype of BM cells gated by this method. To address issues on diagnostic disagreement in this case, we examined the surface markers of the BM populating gated by this method in 10 children with malignancy in complete remission. About 10% of the BM cells were gated to the CD45low/SSClow population, and their markers were CD10<SUP>bright</SUP>/CD19<SUP>bright</SUP>/HLADR<SUP>bright</SUP>/CD20<SUP>dim</SUP>/CD33<SUP>dim</SUP>/CD34<SUP>dim</SUP>, which was consistent with the phenotype of the B-cell precursors. Although the surface marker analysis using the CD45/SSC gating method is useful for the diagnosis of pediatric hematological malignancies, the results should be carefully interpreted with an understanding of the usefulness and the pitfalls of this methodology.
