This manuscript represents a review of lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoblastic lymphoma), acute leukemias of ambiguous lineage, mixed-phenotype acute leukemias, myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia and defining gene rearrangements, histiocytic and dendritic neoplasms, and genetic tumor syndromes of the 5th edition of the World Health Organization Classification of Tumors of the Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues.
