Immunotherapy- (Blinatumomab-) Related Lineage Switch of KMT2A/AFF1 Rearranged B-Lymphoblastic Leukemia into Acute Myeloid Leukemia/Myeloid Sarcoma and Subsequently into B/Myeloid Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia

Genetic results obtained at the time of B-ALL diagnosis, transformation to AML following initiation of blinatumomab therapy, and subsequent posttransformation to MPAL upon discontinuation of blinatumomab.
