Key Points

To comprehensively review literature on acute promyelocytic leukemia-like variants lacking the classical t(15;17) translocation, focusing on their biological drivers, clinical features, and management strategies.
Synthesized published literature and case reports describing APL-like acute myeloid leukemia entities lacking the defining t(15;17) genetic abnormality.
Analyzed underlying mechanisms of leukemogenesis, diagnostic challenges in morphology and immunophenotyping, and therapeutic responses across identified subtypes.
Identified more than 40 distinct genetic entities comprising an estimated 2% of acute myeloid leukemia cases that present with APL-like features without t(15;17).
Observed wide heterogeneity across subtypes in terms of clinical presentation, overall prognosis, and sensitivity to targeted regimens (such as ATRA and ATO) versus conventional chemotherapy.
