An autopsy case of acute megakaryocytic leukemia (AMKL) is presented. The bone marrow was hypercellular with proliferation of three lineages, especially megakaryocytes. Immunohistochemical examination revealed many platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GP IIb/IIIa)‐ positive blast cells in bone marrow. The proportion of the blasts was 26.4 by tissue hemogram. GP IIb/IIIa‐positive blasts and megakaryoblasts were deposited massively in lymph nodes. lmmunohistochemistry against GP IIb/IIIa and tissue hemograms by paraffin section are needed to diagnose AMKL by postmortem examination, since the identification of ultra‐structural platelet peroxidase in autopsy materials is diff
